Benchmade makes some very nice, high-quality utility knives. For $75 you can get him something that he can use for a lifetime.

I have a feeling, though they didn't make a big deal about it, that Weaver writing that prescription for Vicodin to Belker (he'll always be Belker to me) will come up again in future episodes. Just a hunch.

While we're talking Godfather II: Senator Geary at the motel with the dead girl. Is it safe to assume that the Corleone family drugged him and killed the girl? It seems too obvious to everyone but Senator Geary that the family was involved but they never go beyond this scene and the Senator...

Another quick question: The sixth channel on a 6.1 system, the rear center, should that be a full range speaker? Would another center speaker be better?

Does anyone recall the marketing campaign for this movie? I remember seeing billboards all over Chicago saying something like, "Forrest Gump is coming." It had everyone talking. This is the only movie that my wife quotes and the only DVD that she was excited to purchase when it came out last...

John & Jeff, Thanks for the feedback. Can you recommend a video card that won't devastate my wallet?

I think you are right. i have a voodoo card. I failed to mention that I upgraded from Windows 98ME to Win2K. I have already downloaded a new driver. Hopefully, this will work. Thanks.

I've attempted to install a couple of video games on my pc (Jedi Knight II and Battlefield 1942 demo) and the following error displayed when I tried to start the game: GLW_StartOpenGL () - could not load OpenGL subsystem. My computer: Processor: PIII 600MHz Memory: 256 MB Hard drive...
