Not so bad when you consider a new car would have been 7 to 10 X more.

I picked up Batman: Arkhum Asylum for my PS3 last night, as well as updated to the version 3.0 I like the new HUD in the upper right hand corner. Tells you how many friends are on as well as a few other things. But for the most part the update falls flat.

The postman delivered the original theatrical M*A*S*H on Blu-ray to me today.

It was officially released on Tuesday. A must-have. My evening is officially planned.

Watching it before Tuesday is a federal crime.

Among other random groceries, I tried some sort of latino tamarind flavor soda. I've found that I absolutely love it, especially mixed with cognac. [Smile]

Absolutely by chance this past Sunday I picked up a nice silver nugget... probably about 4 to 6 ounces... absolutely free for the taking... laying on the ground at the Minnie Moore Mine outside Eureka Utah.

Today I bought 7 Electrolytic Capacitors for $8.45 at Ra-Elco which will hopefully restore a Sony Trinitron Broadcast monitor I have back to working order. Since it has SMPTE phosphors I definately wanna get it working and calibrated again.

Well, we got the new Beatles remaster CDs at the store today. They don't go on sale until next Wednesday but I'm thinkin' of buying a couple and giving them a weekend spin.

Oh OK. Last Friday I saw Braveheart for rent at a local Blockbuster and it had not yet been released. The authorities came in and arrested everyone and shot the manager in the face.

Mark--what model monitor do you have? I have a PVM-14M4U that I got for $100 a year or so ago at a surplus fire sale. It's in perfect condition and has the SDI input card option. The HR Trinitron tube with type-C phospors give the best SD picture that I've ever seen.

As for what I bought today, I'm still boring. I picked up my wristwatch from the repair shop, got some female-female BNC adapters, and gas for my car.

Do you have any Mono Boxes that aren't spoken for, by any chance? [Wink]

Thankfully, the "classic" PS3 theme (the wavy background graphics without the Rainbow Brite™ disco sparkles) is still available. With that new sparkly theme on display I keep expecting Elizabeth Montgomery to fly across the screen riding her broom.

Sony added some jog/shuttle Blu-ray/DVD functions to the right thumb-stick on the game controller. It works okay I guess, but I still sticking with the Bluetooth™ Blu-ray remote.
