This cracks me up. Ken throws a shot in here strictly out of left field, as far as I can tell, and everyone just ignores it and just keeps trucking along about this screen stuff.

i did not "get" the reference and did not want to seem like i wasn't in "The Know".

I don't know that anyone outside of my family would necessarily get the reference. It's from a Peanuts comic from, oh, probably the 60s or 70s. According to Google, my family has also mangled the line, which should be "I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind."
Anyway, the kids are lying back watching clouds, and Linus of course pops out with seeing all sorts of miraculous things, and when Lucy turns to Charlie Brown and asks what he saw, that's how he answers.
Everyone bored yet?

Ken, if you explained all your jokes they'd be a lot funnier.

I'm living in a dorm room...so put me in the "hope to get one but never going to get one" category. Hey...most people would never think I could fit a HT in a dorm room...maybe if I had some outside funding *hint hint* *nudge nudge* I could make this world record possible. I mean think, YOU could contribute to an unofficial world record! A full HT in a 170 square foot room!

I hate to say it, but back when I wasin college, some 12+ years ago, I had the coolest movie setup in my dorm. At that time, the phrase "Home Theater" rally didn't exist.
I had my 27" TV, and front right/center/left and surround right/left speakers all crammed into my dorm room. This was back in the pre-DVD days of VHS and Dolby ProLogic sound. You would be surprised at home many college kids you can cram in to a little dorm room (I don't recall the size of the room, but it was pretty small). Every Friday night was movie night.
So I guess, now that I think about it, I am really on V4.0, not V3.0 of my home theater, if I count my dorm room. 
Of course, the sound was great back then, but today I would say it definately stunk compared to my Axioms.

I recently purchased a 118" Carada Brilliant White screen to replace a 100" Da-Lite High Contrast Cinema Vision screen. The Carada is a better made/designed frame. Its cheaper than the Da-Lite and the customer service was amazing--similar to Axiom.
