Re: Why I've Been Unusually Quiet Recently
-----------------------------------
:) -Like You Grocho...

I've walked [i]through a Store [/i]— and noticed the new [b]3-D[/b] TV sets...
 :shocked!: 

It ocured to me—

This could be as important as was HDTV.

My 52" HDTV— is now about [i]8 years old...[/i]

My Daughter has a 42" plazma...
but she's [i]hinted[/i]
She's like to [i]move that[/i]  -to her bedroom
and have  something  'BIGGER'  -in her [i]living room...[/i]

but my TV is staying -[i]WHERE IT IS..[/i]
until she Graduates from [i]College—[/i]
and [u]GETS[/u] A [b]JOB[/b]....

I'm praying that next [i]summer—[/i]
I will have the heavy weight—
of [u]supporting[/u] her lifestyle, [i]and paying[/i]
her [b]TUITION[/b]... relieved ...and I'll be [b]ABLE[/b]
to Breathe -for the first time in [i]many years.[/i]...

I'm really happy  -that Grocho has [i]all these new Toys....[/i]

But leahman is NEVER the guy 'to jump in—
when technology -is new...

Hey, I bought a [b]BATA[/b] Video Tape player—
and we all know how[i] that turned out.[/i]

WHEN the first [b]HDTV[/b] arrived— I knew
 it was going to take some time, to get this mess
-sorted out....

There were 720 i set, then 720p sets...

then 1080i and 1080p...

I even remember seeing one  -that was [i]over 3000i[/i]
but things settled down—
because they had to [i][u]match up[/u][/i] with what Hollywood movies
and theaters, had.

A DVD is the equalivant for a 1080i HDTV,
and you [i]don't need—[/i]
a 1080P set, unless you're going to go with Blue Ray...

Personally— I'm an OLD DUDE, and my [u]eyes[/u] are not
that great anymore...

NOW, [u]I could tell[/u] -a [b]BIG[/b] difference—
between my old 32' CRT S TV set
and a DVD on a BIG [b]1080i HDTV [/b]set—
with a good Home Theater Sound System...

It was BIGGER— it was [i]CLEARER[/i]
and it sounded -a LOT better.
 :clap: 

I really [i]can't tell any difference—[/i]
between a DVD and a Blue Ray...

It [i][b]COSTS a lot—[/b][/i]
but there's  a [u]TINY[/u] difference  'to me—
IF [i][b]ANY...[/b][/i]

But the new  3D sets, 
obvioulsy— there's a [i]big difference.[/i]

But I'll WAIT— until the whole thing
[u]settles out[/u] a bit...

I don't have   -[i]endless [/i]Cash
and whatever I[b][i] get[/i][/b]— has [i]got to last me[/i] for a while...

IT wasn't very[i] long ago—[/i]
we had 27" concole TV sets

-and [u]only[/u]   -3 ...Blurry channels.. to watch...

When I was[i] born[/i]— there [u]WAS[/u]  -no TV.
But I remember     [b][size=14]Houdy~Dooty[/size][/b]— like it was yesterday.

Most of [i]my family[/i]— [u]worked[/u] in Television.

Most of these new sets—[i] I am seeing[/i], ALSO
do internet...

Obviously—[i][u] in the future[/u][/i]   (if there[i][b] is [/b][/i]a future)

TV and the Internet -must MERGE together....

I never thought   -that Celluar Phones
would be such a hit...

I dispise telephones.... they are an invention 
to interupt and annoy -a person to death.....

[b]PERSONALLY—[/b]
I hope... that these new TV/internet [i]combinations.[/i]..
will be  sucessful enough—

that I see the  [i][b]arrogant Movie Theaters—[/b][/i]
CLOSE UP -and go [b][i]Out of Business[/i][/b]
with their   ...$8 movie tickets
$9 popcorn, and NO-SMOKING Signs...

THEY have  -more[i][b] commercials  [/b][/i] -than
TV  -back in the 60s....

I like ...to be [i]Able[/i]— to take my [i]shoes off[/i]
put on  -a FLICK...
Pour  -a little Coke ...and Crown Royal...
then  light a Smoke... to [i]watch a movie[/i]...

I don't LIKE —[i][b] paying over $40 [/b][/i] 
for my Wife and I  -to go to the crappy Theater
and Be TOLD
what I can do...

and  have  -[i]screaming [/i]BRATS...
[u]ruining[/u] -the Movie...

_Anything to [b][i]SNIP  [/i][/b] -those [i]Strings[/i]
of the Control freaks...

Technology— is bringing [i]a better movie experience—[/i]
to our Homes—
then we ever[i] got [/i]-in a Theater...

[u]THATS—[/u]
how[i][b] I see it...[/b][/i]
