| LCD or DLP? Sony's new SXRD, which is a type of LCOS is highly recommended. List for 50 inch is $3999, but you should be able to get 15-20% off that if you know your dealer well. I just purchased the 60 inch version, and it is outstanding. Plasma may be bette... | |

| "...Pet Free..." I have long suspected our dogs of partying while my wife and I are at work. The dogs are often left outside, but not always. On one occasion after they had been in the house all day, I came home to find Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London on repea... | |
