Some of this free stuff is not very free. I just spent the last week attempting to deal with a company that is set up strictly as a rip off scam. They offer a free sample for the cost of shipping. Now they have your credit card. A couple of months later a rather stiff charge is made because you "Joined" their monthly shipment plan.

Rick,

This is a little OT, but at Yugster you can get an Xbox360 HDMI with controller and 60GB HD for $187.97 plus $10 shipping. Would make a great media extender.

Wow, good find! Thanks for posting.

You didn't mention these are refurbished units. That may not be a deal breaker, but pertinent information just the same.

You know, I almost posted that, but I just can't see many people wanting a Linux-based netbook with just 4GB of storage -- regardless of price. Am I wrong?

why not use myorb.com and to share, just create a playlist that then gives you a URL to send to those who want to either view your videos, pictures, or mp3s. and its FREE. you can also view all your media from any pc, and now your iphone.
blazin!
