Hey Yo!!
What? You gotta problem with Rube?
Don't go badmoutin ol Rube!!
LOL
Yes I did read your post, and yes it is true what you say.
I think xm has an add on feature. I think its a bit pricey right now, but if Serius gives them some heat, look for that to turn into a better package.
There are times and places where the Rube Goldberg approach is appropriate (I am a software engineer, after all ;) ). But in this case I wanted a clean install.
