    Bikers - Reccomend a Road Bike

    There are two points I think are also very important. 1.) Finding a LBS (Local Bike Shop) who will size, fit and work with ya on the bike. It is also nice if they ride with you. I ride with the shop owners many times a week both road and mountain. That level of service is awesome. 2.)...

    Lost interest.

    I feel the same... up till about two years ago, I would try to keep up with HT, computers and other electronic devices. Then I discovered cycling...wow I would have to say it is way more fun than home theater. I still enjoy movies, but I can definetly say there will not be anymore gear upgrades...

    wall plates, connectors and junction boxes

    Thanks again for all the suggestions.... I did a retro-fit last night. I put in a 4 gang box and hooked up the front sound stage. I went with the Niles Decora plate that holes up to 4 pair. Now I just need to find something to terminate my video, and the TV area will be done. I am going to use...

    How of much of your life has been used up playing RPGs?

    I spent 2.0 years of my life playing Everquest. Looking back, it was a huge timesink. I let alot of my family, friends and work slide down hill. I was able to quit in the spring of 2001. It is the worse addiction I ever had. Jim Ed

    Dual Sub Questions

    I am thinking very seriously about a new SVS sub. I have a PB12, and was thinking for running it also, or selling it. Does anyone run 1 SVS and 1 Other Brand sub? or should they be a matched pair? Thanks Jim Ed

    Bad news for Better Off Dead availability?

    I ordered both of mine from DVD Empire. I was at the Lewisville BB during lunch and could not locate BOD or TS. I also saw a add for both of them at CompUsa, however they are out also. I think CompUSA is very wrong for contining to offer sales with low stock just to get you in the store. It has...
