<div>Wow - thanks. That was easy!</div>

<div>And - without me doing anything special to set it up - boxee understood my Microsoft MCE remote and happily worked with it, and exit took me straight back to Myth. Boxee is really slick - love that user interface, and now being embedded into myth and working with the remote - it's almost like it's part of the same package! </div>
