Yeah, I really love the Bose. It's also got a remote which it very very useful though it wasn't a feature I would have thought about before purchase.
I know Kristin has a Bose too. I think I know that other audiophile Buffistas do as well.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've just tested the region-free hack for my Philips DVP642 (7-8-9-OK-0 with the tray open), and can confirm that it works beautifully! We can now play the Spaced DVDs that DH's brother bought us from England. Woot!
[eta that I did have to reset the video input to Component afterwards, but defaulting back to S-video seems to be something that this model does whenever anything else changes.]

I've been given the task of doing the research for a family member who wants satellite radio for Christmas. He'll be using it mostly in his small pickup and he drives a lot. Anyone have any experience with this?

My dad has XM (in his car and another dock in the house), and he loves it.

I've have Sirius for about two years now and love it.
If the family member is an NPR fan Sirius is the way to go. If they are a baseball fan, then it's XM, if they are an NFL fan, then it's back to Sirius. Basically each network has signed a bunch of exclusive deals.

Ginger, you might want to do a little research and see if anyone who has one who lives near him can tell you how it comes in--I've heard that sometimes, one or the other (or both) may nto have the greatest reception, in a place.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hey this is an unconventional one: I installed a new Honeywell thermostat today, and I don't think I'm getting heat, so clearly I've installed it wrong.
The pilot light is on; the electrical leads into the thermostat are making contact, and the thing does have functional batteries.
The only thing I can think of is that I've got the wires backwards (currently black = Rh; white = W), but that's how it was labeled in the old thermostat, so I don't think so.
Any ideas? All my Googling has told me is that Honeywell is a British company.

The Honeywell manual should have instructions on which type of other thermostat connections translate to where on the Honeywell one.
I know my Hunter™ thermostat did.
OTOH? I also have four wires, I assume two were for A/C, so...
