I hereby award you worst metaphor of the day on the whole entire internet! By comparing TiVo to a train company and other PVR companies to walking, you have created the least applicable comparison posted on the web in the last 24 hours! Unfortunately, this distinction does not come with any cash reward, though expect someone who agrees with you to mod you up, even though it will be clear they do not understand the issue either! We also would have accepted comparing TiVo to either "like a car" or the Nazi's.
