Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I think I have some in my trunk from last Halloween. Not necessarily enough to run my new surround system, but some.
Actually, my main problem with using 16 gauge zip line is having thick black wires running all over my walls. Of course, since it's an aparment, and I don't really want to run my speaker wire behind the walls anyway, I'd be stuck with visible wires no matter what I did.

I think you should, Jon. It's an awesome tag line.

Is there an easy/free way to resave digital video files at a lower quality. I'm trying to put a video on youtube, taken from my brother's camera, and it's a little too big. Ideas? I suck at this stuff, and I'm trying to help my brother figure it out before I leave.

Windows XP and Vista both come standard with Windows Movie Maker, and I'll assume that Macs have some basic video editor as well.
You can try opening the video file up in the editor and simply publish/render it, and that should automatically compress it some.
WMM also has an "import from video camera function".

Huh. It won't open. Apparenlty, .mov is not supported by Windows Movie Maker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Odd question: I think my current old-style TV is 19". Would that seem about the same size as a 26" wide-screen TV?
I'm kind of looking at this one [link] In what seems to be a pattern for me, I had the impression that the flat-screen TVs were like $1000, but of course my current TV isn't so big to begin with, so it's not like I need to replace it with something enormous.
