I'm laughing as you described watching Avatar on the BIG screen. The tv in the living room is 21 inches. NOT BIG AT ALL. In fact, my computer monitor appears larger. But I don't care.

I now have a dvd player.

And Saturday, the guy from Verizon COMES YET AGAIN to my home to find out why my modem (3rd one by the way), well the dsl light keeps blinking, I lose the internet for one minute, then it goes solid again.

They have been to my house 2 times, they never showed up for the 3rd appointment, telling me they changed my port (whatever that is). Now my problem has escalated (their words) and they are sending a special someone to determine why this keeps happening. I have changed phone wires, ethernet cables, moved the computer from one room to another, NOTHING CHANGED.

I have NEVER had a problem with the phone lines since I'm living here and my telephone connection is just fine, no problem there at all.

It's the dsl light and when we had the blizzard last week, a lot of outages were reported. I really don't care, I don't go on the internet that much. I just come here and go to my sprout message boards.

But my husband. oh my god, he would be lost without this computer.

And I'm just learning about Blu Ray stuff.

I feel like I'm 90. And the young ones??? Oh my goodness, they put me to shame. They know stuff I never heard of.

I feel like my ancestors.

lol

Okay, got a question. I bought a dvd from the lady that walks around and sells dvds for five bucks. Won't play on my dvd player, won't play on my portable dvd player, BUT IT PLAYED ON MY FRIEND'S DVD PLAYER.

How come?

thanks, Melody

does it play on your computer?
Is there any scratches or finger prints on it?
Is it a legal copy? Or does it look like somebody made it themselves on a computer? professional label or not?

Hi.

Over here, there are MANY people who walk around carrying dvds and selling them for $5.00. Probably bootleg. I'm never doing this again.

If it is a movie that is still in the theaters, it is a bootleg.
