This Christmas I decided to do something different to animate the party: to use a UMPC. The reason why I decided that was because that gave me the possibility  to combine music and Video all coming from a small device easy to carry and set up. The UMPC had access to my network where I keep more than 4000 mp3 and had access to my Slingbox from where I could stream video from my Tivo. And my whole setup used a very little space in my gazebo another thing that was needed.
