Today a couple in those professions would have no option to buy a home and may not have been able to care for all the children they had with the cost of health care, utilities, food and other necessities. Vacations, pensions and other extra quality of life considerations are out of the question in todays economy for the same work.

Neither of these professions would be harmed if they did not today have the benefit of lower cost of labor. A few dollars of additional cost per hour would not make people stop making ships or buildings. And, a dollar higher price per meal would not send more people to fast food restaurants.

This couple was my grand parents and they did buy a home 60 years ago. Waitressing was only part time at the Del.

I also discovered Nero 7 which comes with many DVD drives includes Nero Mediahome, is also a Upnp media server. It triggered a copy of a virus scan that was installed with the system back before Microsoft had a service pack to correct an exploit in the Upnp. Uninstalling that program allowed all media sharing functions to start to work correctly.

After getting the sharing working all that is needed to do is locating streaming media and install the codecs that are needed and optimizing the system. Tversity has direct links to more transcoders than I may need:

• ffdshow - for MPEG2/4, H.264, Divx, Xvid, AAC, FLAC, Vorbis, FLV, and many more
• Haali Media Splitter - for better MP4 and H.264 support and for OGG/OGM and Matroska.
• Real Alternative - for Real audio and video.
• Quicktime Alternative - for MOV.
• MP4 Source/Splitter* - for better MOV support.
• FLV Splitter* - required for FLV playback (a more recent version with support for FLV4/VP62 is here - courtesy of videohelp.com).
• AC3 Filter - recommended for better AC3 support (in which case AC3 should be disbaled in ffdshow).

Some of these include locations of streaming video http://stage6.divx.com/rss/videos/order:rating any rss feed can be added in a few moments to TVersity library.
