The "southwest" call center has got to be Austin. I'd bet these jokers are in San Antonio.

My parents' VCR (yes, VHS!) had this in the early 1990s. I believe early ReplayTV models also had it.
I don't understand why it's not standard in more devices or why it's so controversial (still).

Comment: GenerationX, Mac OS X genealogy software (Score 2) 292
A month ago, I found GenerationX, an open source Mac OS X GEDCOM editor. (GEDCOM is a standard genealogy file format.) Unfortunately, the version I found was very old. It was PowerPC-only and crashed on launch on Snow Leopard.
I took the source on SorceForge, fixed many of the compiler and static analyzer warnings and removed the expiry code.
You can find my fork on github:

Be careful — this is still beta quality.

There is no way Apple will let you develop for the iPhone OS using MS' developer toolchain. No way whatsoever. I'll bet Trip Chowdrey $500 right now this doesn't happen.

There's no such school as "Waterloo University." It's the University of Waterloo.
