I forgot one reason! The recording software that came with my ATI
TV-Wonder card was complete garbage... which only ran on another pile
of garbage (Windows 98, the only Windows version I have).... more
often than not the software would cause Windows to hang instead of
recording the program. Useful. :/

Of course that would happen while I was at work, which was the whole
reason I wanted to record the program in the first place.
