Good morning, Overs!

Funny coincidence, last night I was playing with my newest e-toy: the Amazon Echo, and decided to ask it to play some music. I suddenly realized that I hadn't listened to one of my all-time favorite singers recently and thus said "Alexa, play Frank Sinatra" ... and she did :-)

GnikNus: It is always a pinch me moment to make one year. Don't let it be an anticlimax, because it is really a milestone to be proud of.

Sassy,
Congrats too!
I wanted an Alexa, and since we bought a new 4k Smart TV, I saw that the new Fire TV has both 4k streaming hardware, but added Alexa to its voice search capability. For folks looking to buy a TV streaming device trust me, I had the newest Roku but that trying to use the onboard keyboard one search then click at a time was the pits. I have all my streaming on the new one as well as the old Fire TV now on my main 27 inch quad HD all in one desktop that I have had for two years, the longest I have ever owned one computer. I now can start playing with Alexa too without the extra box. However we have to turn on the TV and the soundbar to use her. We have Cortana on our phones and will see what we think of Alexa. We might want her separate always on box too.

RZ,
Man that is some real drum work in swing.

FBL hey bud!

Good afternoon Wolf and the rest of the Overs, gotta run.

Hi everyone - goodness, I miss a few days and I can't keep up! Welcome all to the Overs.

All is fine with me - just keeping grateful that I live on a hill and so not affected by flooding in the UK.
