Clerkie the Technophobe
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. |

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. Howard Ferstler |

Cite some examples, tweako. Having trouble following the conversation, dimbulb? The lack of examples noted. Your obtuseness is noted more easily. Note. ;-) The subject at hand is HDTV sets. Duh! I am a member of the audio-journalism elite snicker Nervous laughter from an RAO gasbag. 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. And Krooger is an "audio professional". ;-) This comment is ironic, coming from an RAO gasbag. Now you've got it. Irony was exactly my intention. |

Tom said to Thing: He could try joining Cornholers Anonymous. You could introduce him, Ozark Boy. 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. ;-) |

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*. ;-) |

George what a courage, what a determination !!!!

The American pride parades and the gay lobby have grandly contributed to the success of George W. Bush. There is no pride in France. We have also our enraged gay lobbyists but hopefully the homosexuals in general seem to have a better life than in USA. |
