    Sony wega HDTV 34'' tube

    That is true, actually. What the salesperson is talking about is that 720 lines of progressive resolution is better than 480 progressive. However, there are a few things to take into consideration: 1. Does the TV upconvert the resolution from say 430 to 480? This is a process of adding...

    HDTV Connector Compatibility...

    Thanks for the reply, BTW. Well, with the really bad winds over here, I ended up without a satellite signal permanently. So, the satellite company could not get anybody out until AFTER the weekend. I work full time, so I won't be able to have anybody come out for another week. I figured if I...

    HDTV Connector Compatibility...

    Okay, I'm jumping into the world of HDTV (at last) and High Definition DVRs. After a terrible experience with satellite service (of which I won't go into here) I'll be getting HDTV from my local cable company. However, I have a problem. I'm noticing that the connectors on the DVR and my...

    Fell down stairs while carrying the baby

    Wow! Talk about the timing of this thread. I fell up a portion of stairs (which just so happened to have a cement wall when they twist up a second flight to my apartment). I had one hell of an impact when I fell forward, hit my knee on the edge of the cement stair, as well as hitting the top of...

So, does anyone have any recommendations for cheap, but decent quality furniture...

    Worst employee stories..

    Here's mine (which happened just a couple of weeks ago): I was working on fixing a networking issue on a (surprise) Dell Laptop Computer. Turns out Dell isn't compatible with the network at home, so I call their support line (which is the WORST). They could not get me a solution online and...
