I noticed that, too. That dimension of the show is quite fun. Also, did anyone else notice that while Miles was "ghostbusting" the picture frames on the wall are different when he comes back down the stairs from when he went up? I wondered why they focused on the photos but didn't notice the...
OK guys, need your help. We will be getting a Sony 16:9 WEGA HD-capable TV in the next few days. Not sure which one yet as I am still researching sizes, model numbers, etc. I want to get a new DVD player and have $250 (approx.) to spend on it. What's the best bang for the buck? Looked at the...
Thanks everyone for your comments. I have to admit I'm having a hard time with this decision. I love home theater and want good quality equipment for watching DVD's. But I watch limited TV (we have only basic cable), which puts me in a small demographic I guess. Here's a question: Do...
Thanks for the input folks. Regarding the picture quality of SDTV on a HDTV set, does the notion that the picture is poor also apply to HD or HD-ready CRT models, like the WEGA series? Just curious as that series is under consideration to replace our 10-year old RCA box.
A recent power surge has damaged my 4 year old Sony 5-disc changer. It is repairable to the tune of around $80. It is a non-progressive scan model, but has served us well. The surge also took out my 10-year old conventional 26" RCA TV. Should I repair the DVD player or take that money and...
My wife and I both read the book a couple of years back and recently saw the trailer. Based on the trailer, this movie goes in a different direction than the book. The book, while meant to be funny, was not slapstick or goofy. It had a believable undertone and a moderately serious basis. The...
So do any of you have a flash player? My dilemma is I want a unit that I can take with me when I workout but I love the idea of having the majority of my music library on one unit when I travel. I'm torn on this one.........

One of my biggest pet peeves, whether at the grocery store, video store, etc.: When they open a new register and all the folks at the rear of the lines go to the new line. Most (not all) checkout clerks don't help in that they just open and say "who's next" without paying attention to who is...
I'm also a fan since the beginning and have about given up on the show. A couple of things irk me about ER over the past few seasons. 1. The extreme over-the-top promotional strategy NBC has adopted. Every episode is promoted as though it is the be all end all episode. I think the promo...
Ryan, I see where you are coming from on that one, but here's an interesting story. I was actually surprised the other night when I was hanging out with some friends and this topic came up. One of the folks present is a pastor and has a PhD in theology. We ended up getting into a good...
I second the opinions on the Seagull. A friend of mine who wanted to learn how to play asked me to go guitar shopping with him with the specific intention of finding a reasonably priced, but not cheap, acoustic to learn on. We settled on the Seagull. Good value.
Jamie, Go acoustic to start IMHO. A much more versatile instrument and a better exercise to improve your dexterity. Most electric songs sound great on an acoustic, but visa-versa doesn't always apply. I know you didn't ask about lessons, but don't be afraid to take them if you can afford...
James, I can certainly understand your point about the back end. The trunk is a bit odd, but I don't find it unattractive. I think the front end is better than the previous design, but like I said, I am not a BMW purist, so I am not picky about maintaining design elements. It just seems like a...
Interestingly, I think the Aztek is one of the only production vehicles ever to have a re-design after it's first year out. It wasn't a major one, probably due to tooling costs, but GM saw right away that they had a problem. Count me in the crowd that thinks the new BMW 7-series looks great...
Thanks for the comments, folks. I think I'll try the "no zero feedback" restriction solution suggested by Vince. I have tried to stay away from using that, but I can see now why people need to.
I seem to have been hit by an Ebay stalker. I have had a few auctions lately where someone wins but never contacts me. Each time they appear to have an auto-generated username and zero feedback. Their email also appears to be auto-generated, as if they are creating new email accounts on a free...
