    Well, our 3-to-4 year-old DLP TV popped the lamp today, but thankfully, we had bought the 4-year extended warranty, so it will be replaced free (the lamp is $150 normally). The downside is that we have to wait until Mondy to have the service guy come out and fix it. On a brighter note, my wife decided that it was time to replace the old analog TV we have in the bedroom with a 40-inch LCD, so she's getting me (us) the new LCD for my birthday, along with the entire series of Frasier (11 seasons, 44 DVDs).

      The last time mine popped a lamp, it literally showered the area with powdered glass. You can be sure my future TV purchases will not have the word Projector anywhere on the box.

                Such errors can also be caused by excessive partying over a festive season, so spare VB the blame for now ;P .

                  I'm coming down with a cold, so it's a little harder to focus...

                      Yes, there is that possibility, but John's ailment is apparently caused by a cold. We told him to wear gloves and wash his hands often when coding that stuff. ;)
