You mean like this, Skyman?

Have you used a Mac, DanielB?

I use both and prefer Macs for several reasons... 1. the don't crash nearly as often as PCs; 2. Hardware upgrades are far easier since you don't have to worry about conflict errors that occur in PCs because of all the thousands of different manufacturers (1 maker = 1 computer it will work on); 3. E-mail viruses are not a concern (viruses are developed to spread as quickly as possible and to as many people as possible; coding one for a Mac only results in 5% of computers worldwide being infected; what's the point?).

I was a PC user for over a decade until I discovered Macs. I haven't personally owned a PC since (I have one at work, as well as my Mac G5 dual processor tower). I will admit that my new PC works a lot better than my old ones as would be expected and I think it's a great computer overall, but the processor overloads a lot quicker and with fewer tasks running.

Is LCD a flat panel? Or is that something else altogether.

I know the prices will go down. But it'll just take a lot of justification on my part to warrant upgrading. I'm not a big A/V freak. I just like to be able to watch my movies and that's that. But if that's a flat panel for that price, yeah, I'd be all over it simply because of the savings of space. I hate how big (front to back) and heavy my 27" flat screen is, but the picture is spectacular. I love no longer worrying about curved screens and only being able to see it at certain angles. With this one I could be sitting at 5 degrees off the plane that is parallel to the screen and still see the whole picture. I love it.

I know it will take some time to drop down in price and really catch on. That's what I do. I'm a wait and see kind of guy. I'll sit out the format wars to see what happens. Wait for prices to drop a bit before investing. I just don't think HD will have the high rate of acceptance of SD-DVD and I don't know if the equipment prices will drop quite so dramatically so quickly.
