  1. I bought 25 years subscription to the "General Mayhem" section on [H] earlier today. $15.
  2. I dig.
  3. "recommend" is a subject?
  4. It came on my new Dell, and I'm going to poke around on it before (if) I give it a clean install. If I have a reinstall disc, I may reinstall Vista itself just to get rid of any bloatware. I have vista on my mini laptop, but want to see how it handles quad core, which is a slight bump up from a Via single core processor.
  5. This calls for my new avatar!
  6. mmkay. I also tried to make it a link instead of embedded, but was unsuccessful. It originally said "Helicopter Kills", but that changed when I tried to edit it as a link, and I didnt realize.
  7. I dont know that I buy into the 'Vista blows' hype anymore. At least in comparison to XP. I think people just dont like having to look in new places to find things. Anyway, nice computer.
  8. I'm going to get one someday, and pass down the Samsung to my parents. Or is it pass up?
  9. Yeah, and is flush. But they both will take the "problem" out of the equation real quick.
  10. I have a samsung bd player. It takes forever to load movies, or do just about anything. The latest Die Hard movie (blu ray) just plain doesn't work, even after updating the player via USB. I've tried 2 different copies of the movie. The DVD version plays fine though Steer clear of Samsung
  11. Another view of the gat on another plane, from Dusty's link: Oh and awesome transition, Dusty.
  12. I've been shopping around online since buying my new quad core dell. There are some 24" for ~$400-600, but when I got right down to it I decided this CRT would probably be just as pleasing to look at, if not far better. Plus it was still cheaper, even with the ridiculous shipping charges. And CRTs last a long time. And since its in my bedroom, I'll be typing with the lights out fairly often, and will appreciate the better black levels CRTs offer.
  13. That was my motivation to go with the CRT. The one thing I do like about modern LCDs is the wide aspect ratio. Most CRTs dont have that, but luckily there were some widescreen models made before they switched to LCD technology, including the Sony I bought. Plus apparently it has a relatively flat screen to boot.
  14. Shipping was more $ than the monitor I just hope it gets here in one piece.
  15. I've been researching LCDs, but I finally just said forget it. I miss the advantages of a good CRT. I currently have 2 Ikea Jerker tables mashed together in my room, so at least the weight wont be an issue.
  16. (not my photo) Sony GDM-FW900 24" CRT via ebay. Flat screen, does 1920X1200 I may pickup a second one, once I see how much space it takes up.
  17. spot on
  18. We have all sorts of weapons. All very real. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAYc-wFV2cQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAYc-wFV2cQ bah. I cant seem to make this a link.
  19. Just save us all some time and send them to Luis
