720P is a joke, especially if one has a true HD monitor 30" or larger .


And you stand 3 feet away.


Even at 9-10 feet the difference is obvious . For real .


You have golden eyes...


No, I do not . It is just happens that I spent several decades of
dealing with monitors of very dubious origin claiming to be 'high-
resolution' !


Football looks great! BluRay discs look great. Upconverted SD DVDs look
great. I paid less than 4 figures for it.

It is very important that your source material be well made. I have a
Bluray Disc player that connects with Netflix over the internet, and
basic cable ready Time-Warner cable (ClearQAM). They squash everything
pretty badly. I need to move to a higher location where I can "see"
Mount Wilson directly.

Never followed the crowd . Always had my own opinion/principles on

Turned people into jazz musicians where I grew up. Oh well...

Poppycock!

No 'poppycock' at all. The Wisconsin unions offered financial cuts and
give-backs towards their pensions and health care, but the governor
rejected their offer out of hand.

In the governor's case, the finances had nothing to do with his agenda;
he -does- want to get rid of collective bargaining. The guv wants to
bust unions, pure and simple.

Steve, from your posts here, you appear to be just a little guy, not a
wealthy individual. Why are you so hell-bent on giving away the store to
Big Business?

Interesting thought.

Even down here in the wilds of Indiana, we've heard about Michigan's new
Republican governor's "shared sacrifice" plan.

GIVE Big Business a two billion dollar gift...and pay for it on the
backs of school kids, retirees and yes, out of Lare's pocket, too.

I'm sure Big Business will really appreciate your gift. But again,
please tell me why, as a 'little guy', you will be giving away the store
to Big Business.

Finally, TAKE from Lare's pocket and GIVE to Big Business doesn't sound
very much like "sharing", not even a little bit.

P.S. Lots of older guys here on this NG, so just thought you'd want to
know that on the front page of today's (3/4/11) Wall Street Journal,
Republican Boehner said he was "going to curb Social Security and
Medicare". Just the news all us geezers want to hear.

* Prez "BO" {Obama} Recommends :
* * Slow Down
* * Put More Air In Your Tires
* * Get A Tune-Up
* * Drive Less {and Walk More}
* * Car Pool {Walk To Your Car Pool}
* * Take Public Transit *{Walk To The Bus/Train}
* * Buy a Moped a/o Bicycle {or just Walk}
* * Buy some good Walking Shoes {Walk More}
* * Buy a new Electric Car {Spend Money You Don't Have}


Obama still believes that oil is the great evil in the world.
Michelle Obama believes every American citizen is too fat.

Solution: *Drive the cost of fuel through the roof so people will quit
using as much also resulting in the prices of all consumables (ie
food) going sky high thus creating "The Obama Diet".

They're just killing two birds with one stone yes?

Indeed, it is doing wonders for the economy. *Just this week I
increased my "trip charge" for service calls by $10 thanks to fuel
price increases. *

On a side note: *A lot of people mistakingly compare the current
economy with the Great Depression.
During the Depression everyone was out of work but a 10 pound slab of
bacon cost a dime. *Everything was inexpensive but no one had a job or
money.
Today a lot of people are out of work and a 12 ounce package of bacon
cost around $4. *Even those with jobs are finding it more difficult to
make ends meat.

Obama's "social justice" will soon be achieved. *We shall all be
EQUALLY poor.

If Michelle wants to fight obesity she will need to : 1) Declare a
War on junk food 2) Promote sports 3) Ban GM food 4) Ask to take
public transportation or use bicycles 5) Put ALL the people back to
work .
