First question is from Gary of Prescott, AZ:
Is it safe to mail order a large LCD HDTV? Looking at a 52" Samsung 550 or 560 series at Newegg. Also, how important is initial calibration and does it need to be done annually as suggested by a salesperson at Best Buy?

Hey Loyd,

Quit spending money on that Microsoft junk!

I bought a Logitech DiNovo bluetooth mouse\kb combo and it works great! I've been using it for a while now with my Gateway FX laptop and couldn't be happier. Sure it cost a bit more, but as we all know, you get what you pay for.

And it's nice to see somebody else who believes in the "use a bigger hammer" philosophy for dealing with annoying tech!

I'd definitely like to hear/see more about Justin V's Lego Art project -- I'd absolutely love to do that with some of my photos!

Up to 7 versions of the show available for download now! Wowzers!

So, did the BitTorrent distribution idea die off?

So you've moved over to Vista, Robert? Have they finally fixed most of the driver problems with it? I'm considering installing it next time I reformat.

I support a wide range of people with old systems. I will keep a floppy drive installed on my system until everyone else gets rid of there's. I recently used it to bail out someone who saved a recent and very important document on floppy and assumed that someone could print it for him. Of hundreds of people, I saved the show! Of course I gave him a cd-rom version as well
