I feel like a teenager again, minus the dope.

75% of the people I knew as a teenager, still smoke pot. Some are lawyers, executives for multi nationals etc. Always makes me laugh when they come over to watch a game or whatever and they run in to my garage for a "pit stop" lol

yeah, everyone knows pot isn't addictive -- which is why they smoke it all the time.

Peter. I know, for a certainty, based on personal experimentation (I didn't inhale ), that pot is NOT addictive. Unfortunately, getting high IS!

Careful guys. MarkB might not ask any of your opinions if he knows you smoke pot...........................
Where is my bong?

I agree with everyone else. Based on my own experience, pot is anything but addictive.

Was reading in the manual of my new Denon 2805 and it mentions that it has "7.1 external wide bandwidth (100 kHz) inputs for multi-channel formats, such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD." Bigjohn mentioned that sacd is 5.1? So I wonder if while using Pro Logic IIx that is supposed to be able to convert any 2 chanel or 5.1 signal to convicing 7.1 would allow me to enjoy sacd on all 7.1 channels?

Randy

it just might.. thats an interesting feature on the denon. maybe someone with a similar unit can elaborate. thats new to me.

The aforementioned "personal experimentation" was performed in a former life, decades ago (The Viet Nam experience'll do that to you). I think I personally smoked 75% of all the pot grown in the 1970s, because the entire decade is just one big smokey haze.

But, like all childhood toys, there comes a time when they must be set aside. MarkB has nothing to worry about, from me, these days. However, he would be wise to avoid my opinions anyway.
