    Repair or replace?

    I have the exact same problem with my Hitachi. In fact, the repair guy is here now. He's replacing the convergence ICs, cleaning the inside, including the lenses, and calibrating for $380. I figure it's cheaper than the $1500 LCD I was looking at. Now, let's see if it works.

    In LA for a week, what should I do?

    The weekend is great for Venice beach. Lots of nut jobs out and about! ;) Your timing is perfect. For a real flavor of LA, check out the: West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval. This is one of the world's largest Halloween parties. Over 400,000 people, many dressed in outlandish drag...

    Will my iMac be expensive to repair?

    Hi Jack- The first thing I would try is reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the system OS. Are you on OS9? If you need to take your files off and don't have a back up drive, get your self a jump drive for $60 or less. A handy thing to have in any case. If it is still acting up...

    Please advise on best deal for APPLE G5 Purchase

    Again, you are paying $200 for 150gbs of hard drive. I got a 200gb internal Seagate SATA for less than $100 (from Newegg). I think you could do much better by buying a second drive. Of course, that's just my own opinion. ;) Good luck, Jon!

    Please advise on best deal for APPLE G5 Purchase

    My advice is, stick with an authorized Apple dealer. I purchased mine from Amazon and got a $150 rebate. Now the rebates are $200. You can keep an eye on prices and deals here.

    PowerMac G5 - can people here tell me what its like?

    I have a dual 2.0 G5 PowerMac and overall, I am extremely happy. There have been a few problems, mainly with the fans revving at full speed for no reason. It never affected the performance. It was just plain annoying. This has seemed to lessen and doesn't do it much at all any more. I've been...

    Bad News for Ed Fans

    I think the musical choices on Ed were very important to the scenes and substituting songs would take the emotional impact out them. "Yellow" from Last Chance "Forgiveness" from Exceptions "Chinese Apple" from The Decision "Amateur" from the wedding shower scene Friendly Ghost from...

    Question for the Philly folks (best Cheesesteak)

    I'm in this camp. My faves are at Phil and Jim's in Parkside. Smiths Hotel, in Lancaster County, has a mighty fine cheesesteak if you are up that way. I'm back home in PA right now, visiting the family, so I'm in cheesesteak and hoagie heaven! BTW, living in SoCal, I have finally found a...

    Ed season 1 to be shown on TBS (merged)

    Apparently, contrary to reports, no other station has picked up ED. From the same paper: "Ed" creator Jon Beckerman said he has no knowledge of another network picking up the show. All I have to say is, TV sucks and I'm glad I have a DVD recorder!

    4th Of July Weekend?

    Four day weekend. Woo-hoo! Gonna scrub the patio furniture, clean out the garage (are we having fun yet?), friends coming for a cookout, and maybe go up to Santa Barbara for the day.

    Rule 240 and American Airlines. Oh, how they disappoint!

    AA was serving "Bistro Bag" meals. Just some nasty-ass food in a blue bag. This past December, I flew United and they sold meals to passengers. Just made reservations on AA and I think they're selling meals now, also. Don't much care. I usually grab a salad in the airport and take it on with me...

    Singer songwriter recommendations?

    I gave it a couple of spins, but it didn't grab me. I think I will listen to it more this weekend. I'm a big fan too! I think I just got used to the "Life is Sweet" vibe. Julia, along the lines of Sondre Lerche, you should also check out Teitur. There's also: Ron Sexsmith Jason Falkner...

    Not to hijack the thread, but Philip, what do you think of Maria Mckee's latest CD?

    Time Shift Radio on Your iPod!

    Yep! That's the beauty of it. It splits each song into mp3 or aac files, so each song is a separate file. Built-in FM radio can't do that! You are not limited to the stations on the iFill list. Hold option when you click the Add Station button to manually add the station.

    Time Shift Radio on Your iPod!

    Thomas, is WOXY is one of stations on the iFill list, but apparently you can add stations. BTW, it splits the stream into individual mp3 or aac song files. Radiolover is another software that will do basically the same thing as iFill, but I don' think the interface is near as nice;

    Time Shift Radio on Your iPod!

    iGriffin has developed software, iFill, which will allow you to download internet radio streams to your iPod. It will let you record multiple broadcasts at once and will only save the streams to your iPod, not your hard drive. The now playing info (song and artist) will be shown on the screen...

    What to charge for video editing?

    Thanks for all of the replies, but guys, your bumming out! Boring ?!?!? I'm afraid I'm going to end up hating this. And here I thought I had a new career! ;) I don't want to shoot the video. Not my bag. I used to do wedding photography and I hated it. Don't think shooting video would be any...

    How Silly are Some of the "100 Greatest American Nominees?

    Mel Gibson is indeed an American, born in Peekskill, New York. He didn't move to Australia until he was 12 and still holds U.S. citizenship. BTW, I'm not trying to defend his spot in the top 100. I don't think he should be there, either. Heck, I don't even like his movies. ;)

    What to charge for video editing?

    Recently, as a favor, I edited a wedding video for some friends. What started as a simple project of dumping the raw tape to DVD became a full blown production, complete with soundtrack, trimming the clips, still photos, etc. Authored the DVD in iDVD, with chapters, etc, for the full effect. It...

    Who makes better chicken than Boston Market?

    Kookooroo has pretty good chicken. The one in Burbank closed, but Fuddrucker's opened a Kookooroo in their restaurant. Edit to add: Oops. Looks like they're only in Southern California!

    New Fan - Old Show

    One show I became hooked on too late: Sports Night. What a fantastic show! Caught on DVD after it's demise. Had to buy it. As for Ed, I LOVE that show. I was thrilled to see it in syndication. I just finished re-watching the entire 4 seasons (saved to TiVo), and I'm going to start over again...

    Repair Question: Dryer Vent

    My dryer vent on the outside of my garage is coming off. It was held on by four screws, three of which have now come out and the fourth one is ready to come out. The garage is old—constructed with wood, and stucco on the outside. The stucco has crumbled where the screws were. I called the...

    Holy Crap! Someone stole $1600 from my ATM account!

    This happened to me 4 or 5 years ago. Never did figure out how they got my card info. In my case, the person (or persons) used my ATM card info to buy furniture. It took me almost a month, but the bank refunded my money.

    Need help deciphering job description

    Thanks for the info! I am reading up on ERP. Found a web site that explains it in detail, and in an understandable form. Change deliverables sounds ominous, though. I replied to the email and asked for clarification on a few points. BTW, I am a graphic designer, who has also become a writer...
