Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
K- here are some points to think about
1) HDTV is not going away
2) right now, subscription rates are higher for HDTV
3) not everything is in HD
4) how long will it take you at current rate to get your downpayment?
5) how much longer will it take if you buy it, if you spend now
6) waiting for everything you want might be longer once you are in a house due to some unexpected expenses

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could also buy a HDTV-ready TV.
Also, I think flatscreen TV prices are still expected to drop a fair amount over the next year or two....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The fact that Tivo doesn't make an HD box right now has made my decision to delay getting an HD set MUCH easier. That and the not having any money.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's me, right there.
My flatscreen monitor can do HDTV with a receiver (or whatever the thingamajig) so if it's urgent I suppose it could work out. But I needs mah DVR.

There's a press release on Tivo.com that says their ETA for an HD box is "early 2006."

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Speaking of spending money, I just placed three separate orders through Amazon--one for a magazine subscription for my 9-y.o. nephew (for "Highlights", which I always liked and was glad to find on his Xmas list), one for the books and CDs I got for the other nephew and niece, which is being sent to my mom who'll wrap and take them over to their house, and the third Mom's gift, which I'm having sent under separate packaging to her house so her husband can confiscate the packing slip, just in case the item's price ends up on it.
I never knew the logistics could be so hard to get a few presents ordered and delivered!
Now to get some earrings to complete the niece's presents, something for my sister, brother and SIL, and my new stepfather, and then a trip to my dad's favorite woodworking shop for the usual gift certificate, and then I'll be done with my shopping! A big difference from last year, when I waited to shop until 12/22 and then spent almost $100 to get the presents mailed to both coasts overnight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I still have 6 birthday cards, 3 birthday gifts, and 10 Christmas gifts to get. Yet what I want to do is sleep. I wish I felt hungry. Food might provide some shopping energy.
