      Got 1 & 4, have done 5 and have been getting the components for a new hot rig save for that quad DVI card in the hardware forum (would love one though). Guess I have to look for the combo player

          I read somewhere that because they are adding some features to BluRay, the only real future proof player is the PS3, I'll have to find that article.

              Sponsor my kid's WDW trip.....





              Kidding.

              Go "beyond" your bedroom, on a Cruise or something like that.... .

                And if you don't like the Cruise, you can always get this:

                      sticking with toys or thinking about experiences too? You've done your fair share, but try something new? Hanggliding? scuba diving (ask Sasq).

                      Of course you could always take a little and invest in a massage/spa visit for the wife.. that is if she hasn't set aside some of that for herself anyway
                      Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.
