I haven't been to a movie theater in over 20 years. Hell I don't buy DVDs any more. It's all about streaming for me.
I could care less about the Oscars as the really don't mean anything anymore. The broadcast has been a nightmare for years. I really wonder if Will Smith would have slapped...
Still hanging in there guys. My pension is still a few weeks way and still waiting on disability.
I really appreciate everyone's concern and financial assistance. It has meant a lot to myself
and my family.

I am just jealous of Dave's A7s. Been in love with them since I was 17 (1974). Back then you could buy a pair for
$500. You had to build your own cabinets (which I helped 2 guys do out of 3/4 oak) but omg the sound.
Dave:
Good luck with your search. I don't think you could go wrong with either...
Guys:
Thanks so much for the support. I am actually doing better but cannot work as I can't walk more than a few
feet without getting short of breath. Can't take care of someone else when you can't even take care of
yourself. I am waiting on disability to kick in but until that happens I am...
I lived through many flood in Houston. Never fun at all. My heart goes out to all
of those families having to go through all this.
Fart: F'n Art
Money: More than one knee.
Abilify: A bill you send a fly.
Youtube: A place you can tube. And only you.
Hal: Daisy!
Dave: You singing that damn song...
It is really hard to believe that HTF has been around for 20 years. Oh the trials and tribulations.
Ron started Home Theater Forum as a Forum on CompuServe and he was working with another friend that got busy and
couldn't help any out any more. I had joined the forum because I wanted someone...
So sad. I was so looking forward to seeing him in Axanar as Kharn. Too bad that CBS/Paramount had to put that movie on hold with
a law suit.
RIP Mr. Hatch.
And stop replacing sugar free items with replacements like aspartame or even in some cases high fructose corn syrup.
I have no idea where or when it became a good idea to add high fructose corn syrup to just about anything. If not HFCs they use Aspartame instead. I guarantee that if they...
Jeff:
You should set up a backyard screen and have a good ol' night out at the drive-thru
in your backyard.
Be sure to upload some pictures of your place as you get your basement finished
and your booth together.
That's the beauty of Google Fiber and now ATT's new plan. Over fiber they can get even faster
speeds but it really is moot since most of the web sites you visit aren't on that type of line. It
does work great with Netflix and Amazon streaming in HiDef.
I store a lot of videos. They take up a...
I am talking about upload and download speeds of 1g/sec. Most cable is pretty petty at only
20-40 m/sec. Fios is a bit higher but Google and now ATT have the fastest upload and
download speeds unless you are on a dedicated line. As far as storage well currently
I have 30 Terabytes and growing.
Sorry. Never mind. I missed your post about Gigapower.
You won't get 1 Gig over Wifi. You will have 1G over your main line to the ethernet
to your computer. I get around 150 M/sec over my Wifi.
Have you looked into ATT Gigapower? It is Internet only for 1G up and 1G down for $70/month. I am
very fortunate to have Google Fiber. I had TWC for years and they just kept increasing the price. My
last bill was $150 for Basic TV and Basic Cable. No phone or any other plan. When I tried to get...
Doesn't look like the emojis are working on the forum yet.
I have been looking at the Samsung and Sony 4K Ultra HD sets. I just wish that LG would come out with
a 4K OLED model in the $2K range. The LG 2K OLED has one of the best pictures I've ever seen on a monitor.
