On occasion I am asked about home theater. After all these years people in the local area have warmed up to the idea about multi speakers and integration of audio video, computer products into one system to make home movie watching a tremendous experience. Kim Komando has an excellent link about how to set up a system without spending elaborate costs to technicians that usually know how to take things out of their boxes and hook them together then walk off. Folks, that ain;t the way you do it! Not all are that way, but most chain stores utilize this approach. Obtaining the services of a specialist that has recommendations from their clients is a better way to go if you don't want to tackle all the wires. If you are brave enough to try it on your own take a look at My Home Theater. It has many tools including a viewing distance calculator. This may help decide what size screen you need for you home location. I subscribe to Kim's newsletter and get wonderful tips all the time. Check it out.Long day today. Non functioning cell phone and truck had me doing the freak out dance around the beach house yesterday. Both are now in working order (update: truck has not started - yet). First time in years I've had major phone problems. AT&T was having some issues and I found this out after visiting one of their stores and standing in line. They did test my phone at no charge though. The truck needs major work and it has many band aids on it. Another was wrapped around it yesterday. Money is tight and extremely hard to come by these days. Gosh, can't wait for the next elections. Then you'll see major changes into the hands of sincere, capable people and the existing crew of baboons can go back to making misery on the sidelines instead of at a national level. I despise socialism more every day. Enough. Hope the tips help. Kim's site is great. Be sure and give it a visit!
