I started wanting a mp3/ogg player hooked into my home theater system.  I
wanted eye candy to go with the music.  Since this demanded a computer, I
added to my wants the ability to play MAME/NES/SNES/PS/SCUMM to my want
list.  Based around this I purchased my box and started putting it together.
About this time, our VCR went out and my wife was suddenly unable to record
"Trading Spaces" (oh the horror).  So, suddenly, I was providing TV capture.
The rest is history.
