The upgrade bug

[KennyG]

Man, I've been hit hard by the bug, this is strange.
I have one of the best front projectors made, the NEC xg135...and I'm about to upgrade it.
I ran into a side job that's paying me some real good money and want to move into a newer xg135...is there a "home theater's" anonymous???
Anyone else making upgrades with tax returns, etc?

[Andrew Pratt]

kenny need a parter for that side job I hear ya though on the upgrade bug. This past week I'll have received an MSB link DAC, a pair of silver cat cables, new CDROM, CD burner, new hard drive, and few new CD's etc.

I have too stop reading the forum, you individuals are a bad influence. I have never read anyone state: "No don't upgrade":B

bing if thats the case you can send that new PC of your's to me

Here at Casa de Hancock, we don't call it "upgrades", we call in "maintenance". It's proof that I have more dry rot between the ears than brain cells, since I'll never let a perfectly good working PC alone for three months in a row, without tweaking the video card, or memory, or HD, or if I'm really desparate for a fix, the OS. (Ya have to have at least three OS's installed on a computer for it to be "interesting", right?)

And then, the weirdest thing is when cast off piles of parts start to coalace into PC's on their own, like a pool of mutant alien slime that turns into a new creature form half way through the movie. Maybe I need to cut back on my DVD usage...

Is there a twelve step program for this? Or are we truly lost souls?

LOL Jon. Actually, I founded an organization called "Electronics Annonymous" back about 3 years ago I think. Of course, their haven't been many meetings since then. It could be about time to have a chapter meet. lol. (This was actually a thread I started on DT that went over 100 posts long, I forget how many. It started something like this.

"Hi, I am Lex and I have a problem. you might have one too. If you check rental DVDs for scratches before you turn them back in to BB, you just might have a problem. If the wife offers to make love to you, and you say Not now honey, I am calibrating the HT. You just might have a problem."

You get the idea...

Jon, I love the term "maintenance" and will start using that one myself...the wife will never know what hit her.

[Andrew Pratt]
