...famous for getting software right on the second or third go-round, and this year marks the second try for its Windows XP Media Center Edition. When it debuted last year, Media Center was the first PC system nongeeks could operate like a combination TiVo--DVD player--music jukebox. This year's update enhances the photo slide show and adds a radio tuner. Better yet are two movie-download services and a program that lets you burn DVDs by using just the remote control.

"The most annoying thing in a pool room is a jukebox," says Merhl Smith, 79, a three-times-a-weeker at Chris's. "You put up with [the kids running amuck] for a while, and then you tell them to please stay out of the way." Still, by all appearances, the seedy good old days won't be forgotten anytime soon.
