Hmmm - what I'd do with that projector . . . We have been in the process of building a new home for our retirement, which we hope to have completed within the next week or so, just in time for my wife, myself, our son, our daughter, our son-in-law, and our two granddaughters to spend our...

I don't know if this will simplify or complicate your planning, but in 2009, Disney is offering free admission to any (one) Disney theme park to anyone who visits on their birthday. You need to register the guest's birthday on Disney's website, which creates a certificate which should be printed...

^^^^^^^ Yes.

OK, since this thread has been revived . . . "Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" . . . and . . . "La la la!" From "The Voice"

I'll be attending a wedding and reception in Washington, DC (I live in the Chicago area) with my wife, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. We're making a long weekend of it, and I'm looking forward to it.

My first grandchild, Paige Elizabeth Conner was born on March 20, and I was there to meet her.

Assuming that I've seen all the displays I wanted to, and it is down to the same, or a similar choice, I would opt for the larger screen, even though it is 720p, because of my viewing distance. You haven't mentioned how you'll be using the display (i.e. SDTV, HDTV, gaming, DVD, BR/HD DVD)...

Thanks again for all the replies. Upon reading about the Oppo players, I noticed the same thing regarding component vs. digital. I was also a bit disappointed to find that I couldn't get one at a local B&M store. It's not that I have a problem with shopping online, but I was looking for a bit...

Thanks for the timely replies. I'll definitely check out the Oppo.

It appears that my Toshiba 5-disc DVD player (sorry I don't have the model number) has thrown in the towel. I bought it over six years ago, and it has served me well, but I suspect I could pick up a new player for what it would cost me to have this one repaired. If I'm wrong about that, please...

I usually don't watch much football, or much TV in real time, so I don't usually see many commercials. However, I was visiting family over the weekend, and was watching NFL football, and I happened to see a commercial that cracked me up. It was . . . "Rubber floor!" Bud Light

I just happened to catch Letterman's top ten list last night. It was "Top Ten Kyra Phillips Excuses," and they were read by . . . Kyra Phillips herself!

Travis, Thanks for checking that out for me. I really appreciate it! RW

Travis, That seems reasonable - thanks. I have not been watching the reruns this summer, so I haven't been keeping up with the schedule. I'll start to keep an eye on the listings. Better yet, I could set my DVR to record "Lost" whenever it is on, and then look for the finale. Oh, wait a...

I apologize if this has been covered in this thread, but I missed it if it was. Will the season finale of "Lost" be shown sometime this summer? If so, when? I missed the last hour when it was originally shown. Thanks in advance for any information that anyone can provide. RW

Kramer, in Jerry's apartment, after being kicked in the head (while wearing Newman's helmet) by crazy Joe Divola: "Yo Yo Ma!" Shortly after that, he answers Jerry's phone and starts speaking gibberish to the person at the other end. I don't know the name of the episode, but it's the one...

Before I got my current display, a Panasonic PT-50LC13, I did all my video switching through my AVR, with the devices connected via composite cables. The exception was the DVD player, which went to the component input of the TV, which was a 36" JVC 4x3 tube. Now, I don't do any video...

I was always fascinated with Heathkit stuff, and I was constantly browsing their catalogs. I either built or participated in building the following, all between 1966 and 1968: A color TV (don't remember the model) for our family. An AR14 stereo receiver for myself when I was in college. An...

Thanks to all who replied.

Thanks for the prompt response, Chad. Chad's reply brings up another question that I forgot to ask: Which format (CRT, LCD, DLP) would be best? On edit - I see that my reply and John's crossed in cyberspace. Thanks, John. RW

About three and a half years ago, I took the plunge and built a home theater system (not an actual theater, like some of you have - maybe someday :)). Because my budget was not unlimited and because of uncertainty regarding the future of HDTV (programming, price, etc.), I "skimped" on my...

Seinfeld The Simpsons Futurama Fawlty Towers Curb Your Enthusiasm Are You Being Served? Question: Where and when is "Coupling" on? It sounds like something I would enjoy. RW
