    And bought a T.V.!!!


    I have been living with a 27" JVC CRT I bought in 2000 when I was still an E-1 living in the barracks on Guam....

    Tonight, I finally went to the new Best Buy here in Eastlake and left with this guy:

    My new HDTV!!!


    Now to upgrade to HD cable....

    It's kind of a step-up from a TV I bought eight years ago for only 300 bucks....

    I'm gonna use my current 5.1 Sony surround....It's on it's last legs, but still works well....

    I bought an HDMI cable when I got the TV...gave me 10% off....

    I haven't had a chance to hook anything up yet....TV is still in the box. I bought it at 830 pm, and had to be at work two hours later...

    yeah, thats a crazy price. even back when i was working at magnolia, we sold 65" lcds for $10k. i thought then that paying that price was ludicrous. though i have always been into digital projectors.
