    I'll second the vote for Guiness. Get the 16oz cans with the nitrogen widget inside. My Irish friends tell me this is the closest they feel they can come to a "real" pint, whatever that means. I just love the stuff! As Brendan Behan once said, "Guiness: it gets you drunk." :) ASW

    Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels??

    40X81-Operation w/o Remote? Help

    Greetings. This weekend my daughter initiated a series of events whereby the remote for my TW40X81 died of severe impact related injuries. The immediate problem (besides no remote) is that it appears the remote is the only way picture size can be adjusted. I don't see any menu provisions for...
