Just purchased a Toshiba A20 at local Best Buy. Have a Sanyo Projector with DVI input and a menu choice on projector for 1080i. Connected A20 to DVI input on projector with a monster cable (35 ft long) using an HDMI to male DVI...

Shawn, What else have you seen Brando in? Just curious... There's no question that Brando underplayed the character here, but that was, I believe, the point. He was not giving a more typical frothing-at-the-mouth, easy to hate...
