  1. PM Hirsch, he got one that he's pretty happy with. It's not an uber-high-end model, but it crested some threshold for him. Do y'all have Circuit Cities and Best Buys down there? You might just want to go in and look at the screens, see which one you're happy with. And what do you mean, your old laptop is on its way out? Are you going to be replacing it?
  2. No, there is actually a "hint of lime" Doritos. And yes, I've had the Tostitos -- they're very good, but I prefer Garden of Eatin's Chili & Lime corn chips. I still want to try the Doritos ones, but I'm not sure it's worth pitting the weak American dollar against the British pound right now -- I'll wait until the exchange rate is not so bad.
  3. Exactly.
  4. I don't know, my Japanese master of Garbage sounds better than my domestic issue.
  5. Watching Deadwood season 3 right now, just got past the fight (Jesus!), and this happened a while ago, but in the scene between Alma Garrett/Ellsworth and Hearst, in the scene where he blocks her way, leans into her and she turns her head, was that a reference to Alien?
  6. Anyone over the other side of the pond want to buy me a case and send them to me? I'll pay expenses.
  7. Maybe you won something. Or it's a microphonic tube -- try swapping the left and right channel tubes.
  8. Follow-up: apparently these are only available in Britain. :rock: and
  9. They didn't have it downstairs, so I searched for it, to see if maybe they were "test-marketing" it. Google: "lime doritos" Over on the right, 10,000+ Home Security Choices So I clicked it. It "fuzzy searched" on "live dominos".
  10. Wait, there's a "Hint of Lime" Doritos?!?!? (darts out the door)
  11. Warmed up Quizno's something-chicken sammich.
  12. I found this beautiful winter poem and thought it might be a comfort to you. It was to me, and it's very well written. "WINTER" a poem by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre... "SHIT, It's Cold !" The End
  13. No, you've actually been pretty good so far, I think Dan was just being pre-emptive.
  14. Yeah, seconded -- whut eez eet? Looks nice. I love my SP Supra++, too. Nothing better (that I've heard, anyway), except maybe an electrostatic rig.
  15. Mmmm...lime.
  16. I'm pretty good about holding back compared to most people -- I've had this bag for a week and a half and haven't finished it yet. But considering my history (my dad died in 1988 of complications after heart surgery due to heart disease at the ripe old age of 55), I should probably be a monk about candy and other fattening foods, which I'm not.
  17. Well, I don't do it all the time, as I should be eating healthily as well.
  18. Well, first of all, Comfy, thanks for your input, I certainly appreciate it. Secondly, most of the information in the first post has been superceded by this post (I should probably modify the original post). Basically, the headphone jack sucked, and I suspect that that was the problem, not that the K1000's were so much better than anything else. So I'm going to find my ASL speaker-headphone adapter thingy and try some cheaper headphones on her and see if she can tell the difference. The new criteria is that they can handle going loud for long periods at a time.
  19. Yeah, me too. I've been having a hankering for them for a while, and when we passed by a bulk candy store the other day, I stopped and bought some.
  20. A small stack of CD's from my favourite local CD store that's closing in a couple months.
  21. I have been lucky with interconnects and speaker cables and power cords as well. But substitute "shoelaces" for "tubes" and "them hanging" for "rolling object on a table" in the above sentence.
  22. You win this round.
  23. I'm not Oj, but I've got 12L's set up nearfield on either side of my screen here at work, and it's exquisite. LS3/5a's work real well nearfield also. I've had my Special 25's nearfield, and although it worked (I had them above my monitor, upside-down, and pointed slightly down at my ears), I would recommend something more along the lines of midfield for them. They sounded better a couple feet back. Basically, it depends on the speaker. Most studio monitors designed for the home studio should work in the nearfield, as that is their intended application.
