The TV Set and the Computer Converge 

That was the title of the program at the general meeting on March 16, 2009.  There is much TV available on the internet and it becomes increasingly practical to do the viewing in the TV set in your living room. You need a fast, better than 1.5 MHz, internet connection for best viewing. The slides give numerous links that tell the story.  Click here: The TV Set the Computer Converge.pdf
