resisted as long as I could...

the satellite is configured to format in 16:9 when available, and it seems that is happening more often...even on some of the new commercials.

the old 27" Proscam works fine, albeit noisy, but the presentation of widescreen (The West Wing) and letterbox films gives me a picture smaller than the vintage '70s 19" Sony Trinaton (no remote, pushbutton tuner, the set that will not die).

Applesauce Now Redux in super widescreen really was like watching a movie thru a letterbox...an actual size letterbox.

we were going to remove all the carpeting upstairs and have nice cherry floors installed (dust: read "My House is Killing Me" by Jeffery C. May), but I've spent too much time in the local Tweeters staring at the Sony plasma endlessly looping some Dutch flowers, and the 50" Pioneer endlessly looping...hell, I can't even remember what it was...the thing is like looking thru a window--no wires, no mass--it just hangs there like the view screen on Star Trek...

THAT'S IT!! it's Star Trek...that's why I can't take my eyes off of it!...I've been pre-programed to see the universe the way Captain Kirk does!!!

the horror...
