I’ve got mine (soon)!

November 21, 2007 By: webmaster Category: Media Players, Technology

There is currently quite a frenzy around the new Networked Media Tank from PopcornHour. The first batch was sold out in so short a time that the NMT/PopcornHour community forum flowed over with angry posts. Apparently PopcornHour had been playing it safe and only ordered about 50 units or so in the first batch, not really enough for the thousand or so eager wouldbe customers. So for the next batch it was not a repeat of the "hit refresh at the right time"-shopping experience the initial release had been. Instead they sent out invitations to the people having registered on the site on a first register first dibs basis. I luckily registered quite early (number 200ish) and got my invitation about a week ago. Today they billed my Google Checkout account, which should mean that they’re shipping. So if all goes well, I should have a unit in hand in a week or two and provide you with a review of the unit. Head over to http://www.popcornhour.com or http://www.networkedmediatank.com if you want to see what the commotion is about.

Update: It’s now reached DHL shipping facilities Germany, so should be on my doorstep in a day or two!

    Neeeeeeew Praaaaaaaaatchett. It's in the kiddie-series, but they're equally brilliant and I'm sure this one is too.

    I've read several books in the same universe now, great stuff. Make sure you start at the beginning though.
    Neuromancer

    I know, I know, should have read it ages ago. I've tried several times but only get to page 50 before it bores me out though. I'll keep trying, honest! :-)
