Technology and TIVO

Don't you just love computers!?! This week our computer decided that it wanted a vacation. We have no idea what we did but it just went crazy. We have spent the last few days trying new things and we think we have it fixed now, but no guarantees. So needless to say we have lost all of our e-mail addresses, and word files but we still have our pictures only because they were saved onto disks. As soon as it warms up I will be going out and purchasing an external hard drive so we can back everything up onto it.
Well Megan doesn't take after me when it comes to technology. Mark lets her play with the remote controls and her favorite remote is the TIVO remote. I think she likes the bright colors and the fact that every time she hits a button the TV make a "bing-bing" noise. She also knows how to do something on the remote that Mark and I can't figure out. She is able to hit a button or possibly a series of buttons that causes TIVO to go straight to the recorded shows bypassing the menu screen. We don't know how she does it (she does it almost every time she has the remote) but we want to know how. We have tried to watch her do it, but she doesn't cooperate. Oh well kids are supposed to know more about technology then their parents right!?!
