Harold, you're the only "journalist" I've ever run into who thinks that
HDTV is "super duper". They're quite affordable now, especially rear
projection. The picture is miles better than standard signals on a standard
CRT. You have so much to learn, and (probably) so little time left.

I am not all that picture-quality critical, and will not be
so until HDTV shows up in playable disc formats. Most of
what I watch right now that involves a need for fairly high
quality comes from DVDs. Good standard sets do fairly well
with those, although, admittedly, the wide screen is nice.
Indeed, I consider the wide screen found with the new sets
to be more significant than the improved HDTV detail.

PS: I said as much about wide-screen advantages in my The
Home Theater Companion book, published way back in 1997.

PPS: just because you discuss HDTV and think they are
decently low in cost does not mean that you actually own
one, just like just because you discuss high-end audio and
talk about your Lexicon processor does not mean that you
have an upscale audio rig. For all any of us knows, you are
an underpaid clerk or night-duty janitor somewhere who
dreams of super AV, but must be satisfied with a pint-sized
stereo rig and a 27-inch TV set.

If you had a real job, making real money, you would not be
hanging out on RAO so much.

So for you, "super-duper" is anything you can't cadge from a gullible
manufacturer. As expected, sponge.

Cite some examples, tweako. I think you are just a bit
jealous that I am a member of the audio-journalism elite and
you are just an RAO gasbag.

Remember, I am retired and am currently between review and
commentary articles. So I have all the time in the world -
until my wife dreams up a new home-improvement project or
some audio components arrive that I have to get busy and
review.

This comment is ironic, coming from an RAO gasbag.

Your obtuseness is noted more easily. Note. ;-)

The subject at hand is HDTV sets. Duh!

Again, your reality compass has strayed into never-never land. That was
obviously derisive sneering. For you to claim membership in any "elite" is
the height of ridicule. It's right up there with Skilling claiming he
didn't know what the Enron CFO was up to.

Now you've got it. Irony was exactly my intention.

Tsk tsk.... you're not trying to enrage dickie, are you? ;-)

I wonder how much of a living somebody can make by tweaking bicycles in a
garage. I'd imagine not many people would pay for a service that has
essentially no warranty and that would void the warranty on parts used.
Maybe he can go back to the home theater design scam he tried on Winkis.
The larger question is, if a person has skills in these areas, why doesn't
he just get a job at a real company? There must be something he's not
telling us. ;-)

Thing's chapter is most likely called Closetcases Anonymous. Unlike
uptight, repressed hypocrites such as dickie and Slut, I'm proud of who I
am. dickie haunts tearooms and Lionella struts her stuff at airport men's
rooms. I've marched in Pride parades and I contribute to the cause with
money that I *earn* by *working*. ;-)

Was she dressed as a toilet cleaning lady? Maybe I did see her at CDG
last week. And I remember that Lionella accused me of gesticulating
in front of a wall during my trip, of course,
she was talking about my **** at CDG. It must have been her.
At CDG, they walk right in on the men, you know.

Whaaaaaat a Pride parades ?....
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhh ! George what a courage, what a determination !!!! I'm
really impressed !!!

nb : A pride parade is just like a circus parade with a collective
colonoscopy at the end. ;-)

George your social involvement is highly appreciated here. I address you
this public thanks in my name and in the name of all our RAO comrades.

Sincerely,

:-D

(Sackman is an old repressed pederast)

How could you see something since you had your "Yalmake" over the eyes.
If you also want to participate to a "pride parade" I suggest you to wear a
latex Yalmake and bullet proof underwear.

Ah, so the smelly cleaning lady WAS you. BTW, my yalmake
was a see through..
As far as a Pride parade, they don't have them in France.
There is no pride in France.

I understand that you are very happy, old pederast.
The American pride parades and the gay lobby have grandly contributed to the
success of George W. Bush.

We have also our enraged gay lobbyists but hopefully the homosexuals in
general seem to have a better life than in USA.

Your plahgairism may have put you in a unique catagory amoung audio
