@kimscorcher Easily my favorite TV viewing experience ever with all the transmedia elements that supported it at the time. Curious how it would be w/o them.

@lta100163 @OReillyMedia Books are the best part of it for me. Not sure if there's enough value in the other content to justify a separate subscription. I prefer other sites for video, interactive content. Probably dependent on your topics of interest too.

@lta100163 @OReillyMedia I'm grandfathered in at a lower price so it's a good value for me. I like book learning (for concepts, not so much framework o' the month stuff). Sometimes I have their videos playing in background for "passive" learning. Are you a current user?

@shanselman Right. Pin layouts on PSU cables are not standardized on the PSU side so re-using the existing ones is bad.

[Brian Ashenfelter @bashen]

@shanselman Did you use the power cables that came with the new PSU or re-use the existing ones?
