I bought a Toshiba 27" CRT in 2002 or so for use in the cellar office/gym. IT was used as a display for a VHS/DVD, mostly for the wife's yoga and such so I never really concerned myself with the sound. She certainly didn't so I never "married" the video to the audio system in the same rack...

We sgned up a ew weeks ago and just got around to using it. First off, there's no charge to enroll and there's no monthly charge. You simply register a credit card and pay for movies as you rent them. You register each device separtely, but it all gos to one account. bonus: You get a $6...

"SEARCY, Ark. — An Arkansas woman who cashed a $1 million lottery ticket (she picked out of the garbage) may have to give up the winnings to a woman who threw away the ticket after she bought it, according to a judge's ruling Tuesday." See HERE for the full story. This does pose some...

"Police in Hamilton, N.J. say two elderly sisters, aged 94 and 93, fought off an armed 27-year-old man who tried to rob them and steal their car."... See HERE for the full blab. So, keep that in mind when you're laughing about Jersey Girls. :D

I've not eaten their burgers or most stuff for years. The ONLY reason I would ever set foot in one of them was for one item only: I Loved their Sausage Egg McMuffin. Well, make that two. The potato patty was good and went well with that. I couldn't start a long driving trip without them...

He was truly an icon of a bygone era. No more Rockin' New Years Eve for us. [edit] Sheesh! Ya just gotta love this auto-censor.

I was just at Wal-Mart to pick up a set of cheapo computer speakers. As usual, I check out all the latest electronic goodies when anywhere near them. I saw THIS tiny box, maybe 4 x 6 x 1,5" from Magnavox with a price of $48. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a WIRELESS Internet...

No, it's not new or ground-breaking. Yes, it is lewd, crude and rude. But, it's one of the few movies that I can drop in the DVD player every few months and laugh my arse off just like the first time I saw it. It still hits my funny=bone. And, it's got Michelle Tracthenberg in it, just...

Does anyone else, besides me, refer to those foreign, barely English speaking customer service reps one gets when calling a company for help as "Peggys"? If you don't understand why I say this, see here.

Gotta say, Since streaming Netflix went down the tubes big time, the Amazon Instant Movies thing looks interesting but aside from the movie prices, I cannot find any info o what it takes to join Amazon Prime without signing up for it. That sounds kinda like the Health Care Plan to me. So...

At least during the day. Yeah, this is a bizarre one. Mrs W and I went to the 10:30 AM showing of MI 4 (fun movie. Maybe the best of the bunch). We're about 2 hours and fifteen minutes into it and in walk about four people with flashlights and talking loudly looking for seats. About a...

My Brother-In-Law called me yesterday saying he just got a new LG 55" LED TV and needs someone to hook it up. Hey, he's a great guy, always has beer, and his wife is a great cook, so how could I say no. :rolleyes: He has NO HD sources yet. He'll upgrade his cable Tuesday and in the meantime...

Anyhow, here's one of my favorites. A perfect balance between modern pop and light classical and recorded with great care. ...about fifty yeas ago!. Every year when I play it I'm amazed at the sound of this thing, and the music is first rate, too.

...is one of the best reasons I've seen to justify 3D and going out to the movies instead of staying home with the big screen and big sound. A visual extravaganza with a charming and intriguing plot line that never really reveals itself until near the end. Well done, Martin Scorsese and Johnny Depp

To start off, my normal portable headphone are Koss Porta-Pros. They sound great, are cheap and durable and, on the whole, that's not going to change. We fly frequently and I've always been curious about noise cancelling headphones. When I saw these advertised at a local store for $27 I...

We'll be down there for a few days and I'd like to find a good music store that features some of the local talent. The last time we were there the Barnes & Noble in The Aboretum had a great selection but, if it went like the B & N's out here, they probably don't have much of a selection...

I just packed up a Panny BD-85 which is less than a year old for service/replacement. That it broke in less than a year doesn't really bother me. This stuff happens to the best of them and we each draw the short straw on occasion. That's what the warranty is for, right? Continue on, dear...

I was doing a search for stereo amps on Amazon and this little gem popped up. A quick example of specsmanship at it's best. Still, 15 watts? I wonder what the full specs are? Oh, it works off of 12 volts it seems.

Dunno if I should post this here or in portables. Wifey and I travel about one weekend per month and bring along a laptop. Since every place we stay, we've become spoiled, what with Pandora, Zune, and our Comcast Xfinity available for movies anywhere we can connect to the Internet, the teeny...

My high capacity (80 gig) Zune always seems to run out at precisely the wrong time. I carry my my tiny (2 gig) little Sansa M240, which runs forever off of a AAA battery. Granted, this may be an apples to oranges (disc to flash drive) comparison, but are there any higher (than 2 gig)...
