    Office WLAN

    I'm setting up my wife's dental office, and installing Cat5 to all the rooms for a peer-to-peer network. I'll be connected to cable for the network. What would I have to do to have a WLAN available to the waiting room patients, like an "internet cafe"? Obviously the wireless can't have access to...

    LDs on HD TV

    I have a lot of widescreen LDs. I'm in the process of buying a new HD tv, something in the range of ~$5K. How does a non-anamorphic LB picture work on either a 4:3, or 16:9 RPTV? Will a 16:9 tv zoom to use the full screen? (Depending on OAR?) So many damn acronyms, like learning a new language...

    SD5700 or RP91?

    GoodGuys has the 5700 in stock for $300, the RP91 IN STOCK for $600. Is the Panasonic worth twice the Tosh? The salesman said when they were gone they wouldn't get any more for awhile. Anybody?

    LD with Denon 3801/3802

    I am thinking of upgrading my HT system. Since none of the newer receivers seem to have RF inputs (except 5800), what is the best sort of RF decoder to use? Some of them output 5 channel discrete, while others convert the RF to digital. And how does the bass management work with the discrete...
