Hey Mark! Good to see you're kickin'! I second the "computer speakers" thing if you don't want the full system on.

I'll throw in a second on the Harmony remote. I did not want to work through macros - so I went with the Harmony. It is the best part of my system because it makes my wife and daughters happy - not to mention that it makes turning on and off the entire system as easy as the press of a button.

Welcome back, Mark! I agree with the others that you should really just use what you already have and pipe the sound through the receiver. Unless Rush is on, in which case mute it and then smash the screen.

OK, y'all have convinced me to scrap the speaker idea. I think I'm still going to replace the grill material, though.
John, my son is currently obsessed with planets and space, stars, the solar system, etc.... We listened to the Holst disc you had recommended the other day and he was pretty excited about the concept. Not surprisingly, Jupiter was his favorite. LOL

That's impressive, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get either of my boys(5 and 8) to sit/listen long enough to hear the music, let alone pay attention to it.

"What kind of bike did ya get?" I can't believe I overlooked this opportunity to make y'all envy (either the weather, the bike, the sheer awesomeness of my machismo, there's gotta be something, huh? LOL). Here's a pic from a trip to the dentist, from the one week the bike has not been in the shop: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/bigwill/DSCN3065.jpg

Good to hear that, Mark. I certainly became interested in astronomy when I was very young and when entering college had thoughts of becoming an astronomer. If you don't have a suitable telescope for him, several of us on the board are into this and could offer suggestions.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Kids wanting to be Astronomers, Astronauts and Paleontologists seems to be consistent from generation to generation.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Right now, my son wants to operate a bucket truck when he grows up. It probably has something to do with what he did on our short vacation a couple weekends ago... Yes, that's Stevie. And I'm trying to keep him from going too high. His adventure ended in tears when we can to take over with the master controls and bring him down.
