"High Definition DVD: What is Holding You Back?" One format or a universal player... Same thing I did with DVD-A/SACD. Jumped in when there was a reasonably priced universal player. But, now both are for the most part dead... Hope that doesn't happen with HD on disc.

As to wireless access to a hard drive, it sounds like you should look into "NAS" (network attached storage) accessed through your wireless gateway.

Chris, when I asked about budget the response led me to believe that there wasn't a large one. but then again the op did mention that they would be patching in their AVID editing machine. They aren't exactly budget items, so there must be money... just don't know if its available for this...

Budget projectors: Panasonic PT-AE900U @ > $2000 or Optoma HD72 @ > $2000 Both nice budget pjs A slight step up: Samsung SP-H710AE @ > $3500 Has an outstanding out of the box picture. Had some production issues with early build models (start up failures ) but current production appears...

Budget? If it's not known, you have to feel them out. How can you make a competitive bid if you don't know their specific goals or approximate budget. You may spec. a six figure system and be laughed out of the room, you might spec a budget system and be declined for quality reasons...

I ordered a point & shoot from BuyDig.com once and they sent me 2 cameras, the one I ordered and the model under it. Didn't charge me for the second one, but after 5 phone calls and several e-mails I still couldn't get them to take it back. Weird... We buy from Beach and Abes at work...

In regards to admin accounts and such, several of the applications I use require you to be logged on as an admin to run. Hell, I even had to give my 12 yo son an admin login to his computer because some of his games even require it. Talk about asking for trouble! Doubt that issue will be fixed...

We may have a winner there. The price is right, only thing I would worry about is battery life. I would likely use it only on battery and the AirPanels claim 3-4 hours. Whats your experience with battery life?

Any other input on this? I am hesitant on the AirPanel as they are a bit old, tech wise. I was hoping someone was aware of something similar but with a bit larger screen than the mentioned Nokia.

Hmm, hadn't seen that. Looks nice, don't know that I could get past the small screen though.

ViewSonic Airpanel as a web browsing tablet? Better solutions? I have been waiting and waiting for someone to make a tablet type web browsing appliance for a nice low price, but nothing yet that I know of. I dont need any PC functionality, just something small and light with a 10" or so...

Hi, About to make a sizeable lumber order for the basement/HT and was wondering if the HD or the Lowes store has better quality. Hard to tell walking through the store and looking at the lumber. Looking for input from those who have made a sizeable order and got it home to work with. How much...

I have another question. I purchased STYROFOAM Residential Sheathing extruded polystyrene insulation. The foam insulation board has a thin plastic film on both sides. No-one had the plain STYROFOAM Tongue and Groove extruded polystyrene without the plastic film on both sides. The sales people...

Finishing Basement, relocate service panel or leave it? First, I post this question here because this is where most of the heavy duty construction goes on. There will be a HT in the basement but this question isn't directly related to it as the panel is in the area that will be the gym...

Thanks guys. Whats the cleanest way to cut this stuff? Can you score it and snap it sort of like drywall, or do you have to cut it all the way through with something?
