I actually just got transferred to the MythTV marketing department.  I'm 
trying to create a buzz about 0.21 so sales go through the roof.  I've 
already started posting messages on fora/wikis/blogs/mailing lists using 
pseudonyms and talking about how great MythTV's 0.21-fixes is and how 
much I'm looking forward to the upcoming 0.21 release. 

I'm trying to decide whether to approve the funds for the bulk e-mail 
service.  We have a subject all picked out: "An amazing T V experience 
is no longer a Myth."  However, some in the department think, "Storage 
e.nlargement - no longer a Myth," would be better--I suppose because of 
how much easier it is to add more storage with 0.21's new Storage 
Groups.  I just can't figure out why the period in the middle of a word...

I'm hoping we'll have as many people lining up outside of Best Buy two 
days before release to buy the new MythTV as there were for Windows MCE.
