oh but Rich, you haven't even touched the surface of the true horror of Home Theater:

cables!

screw the screen, just take a look behind the furnature...

the horror!

the horror!

No wonder Bose sells so many of those table radios for $15,000 a pop. I'd pay ten times that to be rid of that den of snakes behind the gear!

and another thing, does anyone, anywhere, know why component video on THREE wires is exactly the same as component video on FIVE wires which is exactly the same as component video on ONE wire (15 pin d-sub VGA)?

Who is behind this? Kenny Starr? Richard Mellon Scafie?

and what is all this talk about "fire wire" ???

(all my wires are likely to burn my house down, in fact...I smell PVC burning right now!)
