I’m one, too. What’s the chance the other seven read this blog?

The Front Row interface is still better than Apple TV 2.0.

Wild — I’m one of the other seven Front Row users! Does that make us all cylons?

This is really quite extraordinary. Three of the 9 people that use Front Row not only read TAB, but they also have commented! Amazing! ;)

TV is dead.

I’m on of the nine that uses Front Row, along with Unison, Transmission, and HandBrake to get and watch content on a 24″ iMac.

Me too! 4 (or is that 5, Galley? :) out of 9 isn’t half bad!

I guess I’m also one of those nine. FR could double its user-base if only Apple would make it “funner” and add some TV functionality.

I use Front Row daily and am proud of it! :-) It seems that his should be a Front Row site only… ;-) :-)

Flutter is not worth your time. I just tried it, forget it it sucks.

Not MMS at all. It simply uploads a pic to their server and sends a link to the person. If they do not have a smartphone it is useless. The thing is buggy and many times their are errors! Use email and save yourself time!
