Thread Starter 
Holy moly.... I just realized.

I've been reading HTF & posting (every once and awhile) for 10 fre#k'n
years!!

How about that! That means my Sony 7000 is 10.5 years old. Time for
a new one maybe.

Does your S7000 have the *undocumented* switches inside? If so, don't get rid of it yet!

I have a second generation Toshiba 2107 that I got in '97 that was just replaced because it could not read some of the newer Disney discs that we bought for my neice, otherwise it still played everything else great.

Amazing, I guess its all in the luck of the draw, as to how long a player will last.

Me too, but I "suplemented" it instead of replacing it. I still prefer to use it, too, because of its spendid user interface design.

Yeah, I'm a Moldy Oldy

Yes, now it is killed, b/c I have replied to my original post.


Ps... Sony 7000, switches? You mean those switches that I can see
inside on the breadboard panels that *if* switched make the player
an all region dvd player? --- I don't know what you are talking about.

It's finally my turn.  10 years this month!

 

Happy anniversary to me!  biggrin.gif

 

I had my choice of a couple different old "10 Year" threads to choose from...but there were a few things about this one that I especially liked!  thumbsup.gif

Happy Anniversary!  How old is your DVD player?

post #21 of 99

If I say "It looks longer", you might think I don't mean it very nicely. But it's almost unbelievable you only joined 10 years ago.

 

 

Which reminds me of a joke my father used to tell now and then. In fact it was two jokes, because he could tell the same joke with a different punch line.

 

A senior patient consults his doctor. The doctor has known the man for some time already, and after having done some tests and getting a few additional lab results, the doctor tells him he really has to change his life style. "No more coffee, no more than 1 standard glass of alcoholic liquor per day - at home and no longer in a pub. Better go to bed before 12 pm, always at 10 pm is even better, and get up again no later than 7 or 7.30am every morning then take an early and stiff walk outside after a very modest breakfast, diminish your food intake in general anyway you really have to slim down. And, really, no more than very, very occasional and tame sex."

 

So the patient asks him: "If I do all that, will I live longer doctor?"

 

The doctor replies:

Punch line version 1 (Click to show)

 

"Uhmm, no .... but it will look much longer"

 

 

 

The other version, chosen depending on the circumstances:

 

............

So the patient asks him: "If I do all that, will I live longer doctor?"

The doctor replies:

 

Punch line version 2 (Click to show)

 

"Yes, you certainly will!

 

His patient asks:

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

"But why??"

Happy 10 years at the 'ol HTF Mike!

You know, i still have a 10 year old DVD player. Its not hooked up, still works, so i couldnt bring myself to toss it. Beside it cost $1000 back in the day. Its a workhorse Sony 7700. Still have a working LD player Pioneer 704 that must be 15 years old.

Damn, how time flies.

Happy Anniversary, Mike.

BTW, I still have my first DVD player sitting in the basement, currently not connected to anything. I bought it back in '98, I think. Maybe I could sell it as an antique? smile.gif

Mine is a Sony DVP NS715P. It's still working great.
post #25 of 99
Happy 10 years on this great forum. Hope to see you and everyone else here in another ten years! cool.gif

Now tell me how we have a time traveler from the 70's who was able to access this forum. I bet he had some really cool gear for the last 40 years! biggrin.gif
post #26 of 99

This thread made me sit up with a jerk. Poor old Fluffy Pumpkin has been gone for several years now.

Nowadays I'm bossed around the house by Condoleezza Mice, named after a famous American.

Hi Dennis,

 

Who is 'Mice'? confused.gif

Another famous American I never heard of, as far as I know.

 

Or is that 'Condoleezza Milk'?
