And then there are people like me, who are still working with a four year old Powerbook that doesn’t do Windows at all. Using silly Microsoft only technology is just too annoying.

I’ve got Leopard. I need the copy of Windows. I’m not really sure I want to spend 100-some dollars on it, though…

My Mac-using comrades, let me direct you to Parellels. Get your hands on a copy of that and a copy of Windows, and you can watch the streaming sites. Alternately, if you have Leopard (OS 10.5), you can run Windows via Apple's free Boot Camp. I haven't tried that yet.

The problem with me checking it out is the same with you checking it out- my beloved Kolo (in my non-Hertha time I’m an Arsenal fan) is a MacBook I got as a graduation present. Which is also the problem with those streaming sites that everyone else watches…

Hoeness is trying to be crafty, is he? Sneaky sneaky.

I think Hoeneß is telling everbody and their mom, that Hertha only has €3m available on purpose. Just to keep the price tags down. I think they could actually afford to pay more. But paying €3m now and the remaining millions later would be a way to finance him as well.

BTW: I guess you already know, but just to make sure: I’ve been toying around with the Internet TV services of some Bundesliga clubs in the past few months, to see what they offer/don’t offer. I came across the one by Hertha: http://www.herthatv.de/

Since their service is Windows only, I didn’t look into it in more detail. Though this service offers every Hertha match on demand (the full 90min) as well as match highlights for a monthly subscription fee. Some extra interviews and bonus material seems to be there as well. It’s all in German, though the German flag icon on the site might suggest, they plan to expand their service in the future(?), as it would otherwise be rather redundant. I don’t know whether this could be interesting. You’ll need a credit card for payment though and the dollar-euro exchange rate isn’t the best either.
