    This forum "ROCK'S"

    Wow , You can almost put a face to you folks.

    I was born in the winter of "33" I think I am the most ancient one here in the get aquianted section so far.
    I started life in the hills of West Virginia. Coal mining country. When you reach the age of 17-18, its traditional that your life as a coal miner will begin.
    But..........not for me. My father was in that profession for 38 years.
    I entered the U.S. Air force at 18 and stayed for 20 years.
    Enlisted during the Korean War, but went to Germany. Primary job in the Air Force was with KB-50 in flight refueling tankers. Scary job. Topped off that assignment with a tour in Viet Nam then into the Recruiting business the last 5 years.
    My interest was always in electronics. Afte the AF, became a DJ locally. Lots of fun but bad pay.
    About age 60, got real interested in stereo and VCR,s I got the bug.

    I now have this room I built in my garage(no one ever puts their car in the garage here in central Fl) 11X14 in which I house my computer.
    About a month back, my daughter says "Dad" I have the perfect Idea, a Home Theater! and its all been uphill since then. Let me say this, from what I've found out, when you enter the world of HT, you will never go back to TV.

    After (thank God) stumbling upon this forum, I am so into it. You folks have helped me tremendously. I thank you so very much.

    I am now retired, my wife of 50 years works part time so that she don't have to hear me ramble about HT all the time.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

    Chuckaroo,

    We are glad you like it here! It is a good place to relax and learn a bunch about our hobby. But, it's people like you that make it the place to be!!!

    I look forward to hearing great stories about your HT and the transformation of your garage.

    PS. My wife probably got a full time job for much of the same reason! :B

        This is a great community isn't it? As Trevor and John mentioned it's people like you (and those guys, well all of us really ) that make it that way. :T

          Isn't that the truth! :yesnod:

          After (thank God) stumbling upon this forum,
          Uh Chuck, were we passed out on the sidewalk again? :boozer: :B Oh sorry, that was stumbling upon, not over.


          Seriously though, we hope you stay around and play with us for a long time. It's a good place to be. Stop on by Spaced Out - that's where most of the HT-building threads are.

              Welcome, Chuck; kick you feet up, relax, and have some fun!

              You may be one of the older ones here; I still feel like a kid a lot of times, even though I'm in my 50's. There's always new things to discover and have fun with- that helps keep all of us young and interested.

              Welcome to HT Guide.

                    Welcome to the Guide Chuckaroo! Hope you enjoy your stay.

                    I'm itching to move to Florida someday. Maybe in a couple years, then we'll build a nice house with a nice dedicated home theater!

                      Chuck,

                      Welcome to the forum. I'm also a "newbie" here, but have been around the other forums for a few years. This is all great stuff. Never can get enough of it.

                      my wife of 50 years works part time so that she don't have to hear me ramble about HT all the time.
                      Just make sure she's employed at a place where she can get discounts on DVDs and you'll be all set. :T :T :T :T

                              Hi There. This is my first post - but I've been an avid reader of you all for over a year now.

                              Based on the wealth of information I've gained in this forum, I felt very confident in purchasing the Rotel RSP-1066 and RMB-1075. I must say I couldn't be happier. The quality of this unit...
