I just got an ATI All In Wonder 9600 XT. I’ll be attempting to record the Tour onto my computer. Every year I miss a fair chunk due to VCR operator malfunctions. I love riding on the trainer and watching it. If anyone wants I’ll post you on how I get it to work (I’m testing on the Lance Chronicles this week).

Eurosport!!! + lots of VCR tapes

Watching highlights on OLN, but I’ll probably get the reports real-time (?) from letour.com. My cubemate’s a NASCAR-head, but she’s looking forward to it. “I really learned a lot last year.” she said.
IN PERSON!!! Well, the prologue until July 15th when I fly home.

From the sidelines on Champs-Elysees July 25!
Would it be mean to say “F you and the horse you rode in on! Rub it in our faces, whydoncha!!!” clm. . . ;->
I am a jealous beast. . .
I just watch the website on the computer. Really good for my billable time.

I promise I’ll take lots of pictures…

OLN before I leave for Europe, then in person, from one of the switchbacks on Alpe D’Huez with all the screaming hoards and the “devil”. Besides that I plan to see a bunch of stages between Jul 19-24 and watch the rest of French TV.

I picked up the betting odds from Ceasar’s Palace Sports Book:
Armstrong: 2/5
Ullrich: 9/5
Vino: (was) 6/1
Tyler: 12/1
Mayo: 25/1
I’ll be placing a few wagers come July 2.
I thought this thread might get some of the geeks out there to comment on the technology. I guess everyone just wants to travel there. I am available to carry bags. Hopefully they are flying Boeing planes. (I’m from Seattle and am NOT attacking any other plane manufactorers).
Mostly over the web: cyclingnews.com, velonews.com, OLN.com( I can listen to the audio of phil & paul at work some times) then checkout Graham Watson’s web site for the best photos the day after each stage.
I have the 9600 and it works great. If you have a decent monitor you’ll love it. You can have the race running as your background, which is too cool. Then switch it to a small hi res window for the bunch sprint or if they go mano a mano up Alpe d’Huez. 
Easy to set up and tres cool.

I don care who y’are, that’s funny. Gitter dun!
OLN and Tivo. I’ve got to clear out the wife and kids old Barney and Oprah shows to make enough room for the tour, though.
Unfortunately it’s going to be Eurosport this year…
Here’s some pics from being there in person last year at Alpe d’Huez…I’m v. jealous of y’all out there going this year.
