Sounds good, what's the viewing area like? My dad had an older rear projection that's either got a failing bulb or a dirty lens and you can't watch it from the sides at all.
Also, the best thing about rear projection is that no one is going to break into your house and take it without a friend and planning.
Facebook is FTL. though i don't really have a better alternative as far as social networking sites go.
Bebo. :P
Somebody actually uses that? I though it was just a site name.
There was an action on gaiaonline for some awesome items if you fucked around bebo for a while, so they got a few kazillion members through that. Not that those people will stick to that site now, though. Especially now that gaia has the same deal with Facebook.
Bebo is just a cheap facebook knock-off, I see no reason to join them instead of facebook.

These are not your father's RP televisions. It only weighs about 70lb or so. It's about 30lb lighter than the 32" CRT I have.
Also, older RP televisions use very different technology than the newer onces. It's actually LCoS, which is kinda like the bastard offspring of LCD and RP. My current TV is a smaller and older version of the same technology, and the viewing angle is good enough that by the time the picture starts to seriously fade, you're far enough off to the side that you can't make out the picture, anyway. It's more sensitive to vertical deviations from the center, but even then I've only had problems when I was standing up within 3 feet of the screen and trying to rock out to Guitar Hero. Basically, viewing angle is a complete non-issue.

Isn't bebo the one that had the suicide group that the parents were bitching about because the kids offed themselves?

Huh. The more you know.
Pretty much the only reason why people on gaia *do* anything -- fancy items. Fuck, they have deals with MTV and Warner Bros, somehow the big companies think that a lot of people looking at their logo/movie trailer is going to make them profit. No one tell them I only looked at it because I could get fabulous sunglasses out of it.
...It's pretty bad how much I like dressing up my avatar on gaia online. =/
My house is ruled by Samsung. So far Samsung's been a just ruler.
I assume Samsung makes some good TVs, but I will never find out, because of two data points:
- The Samsung DVD player I had crashed and glitched up all the time, and after 18 months the remote stopped working. At this point, I tossed the player and got the HD-DVD add-on for my 360.
- My friend has a Samsung TV, and the menu system is ass.
That's enough for me to write off the Samsung brand. I don't pretend it's rational, but whatever.

Chutney sounds like it would be some disgusting British dish involving animal intestines, but Wikipedia’s description makes me want to try some form.
Man, chutney is awesome. It's basically relish, only with fruit instead of pickles.

Samsung makes a lot of stuff that looks good but every Samsung product I've had has crapped out in a year or less.
I'm a total LG fanboy right now. So we'll see how long their stuff lasts.

Huh -- I'd say the menu system for more or less every electronic device that's not a computer has a pretty shitty menu system. I can't even imagine how bad it would have to be to stand out.

Jeez, sausages are the closest I've ever come to animal intestines. You guys have some strange ideas about British food.

I kinda wanna try an avocado chutney or something.
Tamarind chutney, you heathen!
I’ve never had tamarind, apart from its apparent inclusion in Worcestershire sauce, so I’m kinda hesitant to go that route. Also, I’m thinking more along the line of stuff I can make myself, and I’m not sure the supermarkets around here would have it.

What about haggis and all that lot? I’m not saying such things are consumed regularly, but as a culture you’ve come up with some pretty horrific things.

Ever tasted haggis?
No, I make a habit of avoiding things that have done food processing before me.

I have a 1080p version of one of these. It's pretty swank for the price.
