Hi Jack, and thanks!

I'm just barely getting into it with a dinky HT setup. I was tiling my living room and decided "since I'm painting the walls and ceiling, why not wire things for HT?". It sort of snowballed from there. In the past couple of weeks I've put together a low ... make that no budget system.

This is it currently:

TV: Toshiba 36A41
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V450
DVD: Pioneer DV-588A-S
Speakers: JBL NSP-1 w/Sanus Systems stands
Cables: NXG Pro Sapphire cables/SoundKing 12ga speaker wire w/Dayton Banana Plugs
Remote: Harmony 688
IR Distribution: Xantech 291-KIT
Game Consoles: Modded Xbox, Modded PS2

As I upgrade things, the old components will move to the bedroom.

I'm considering a new TV for Christmas. If I had to buy one today, it would be the Mitsu 62525.

The JBLs were an Ebay find. They were in new shape and sound great. I actually can't wait for them to be moved to the bedroom.

Three days until the drawing, and 13 tickest left. It is open season for anyone on the last 13.

Any NOT sold midnight Saturday I will be buying....

well, if you insist...

I am surprised no one "busted" me on this - Since $2500 has to go to the 2nd harvest food bank, any ticket sales shortages would have to be made up by me.

Apologies in advance about the verbification, but paypal'ed you for a second ticket

I figured with several days and only 13 tix left, it wouldn't come to that.

Thanks ... but is "verbification" a real word ?

Mark, I didn't think it would come to a shortage of sales. BUT ... You gotta admit, the mere IDEA of me with 13 more tickets is horrifying ... (evil laugh smiley) ...

"Verbification" is at least as real as "paypalling", and has appeared in many respected newspapers as an out-of-control phenomenon threatening to destroy our moral fiber.

Probably not

I like the word. My lovely wife is an attorney, and tends to give really LOOOOONG answers to simple questions.

Next time, I am going to tell her she is verbificating...

I wonder if it would pass the "Scrabble" test ....
