I'm game if you're in. You did say laser disc player?

I'm ranked 17th in the nation right now.

When did you start playing laser disc frisbee?

Coolness.

Ed,

I have a Pioneer Elite CLD-D504 in perfect working order. It has 12 and 8 inch laser slots and a CD sized slot too. I can't remember the last time I watched a laser movie, but I recall it is quite a nice picture, maybe better than DVD. Of course the discs are huge, were expensive, and became obsolete when the DVD came out. Mine is hooked up to my system and ready to play if you want to come over sometime and watch a movie. I guess if you can't resist the urge, I'd consider selling it. Certainly is a low mileage garage queen!

Looking forward to watching it. Bar is very well stocked already, plenty of cuban cigars, too. Will pick up beer, like it fresh, let me know brand preferences.

Drove quite vigorously today. Went the looooong way home , after terrorizing the civilians on 95 and 495, hit the back roads of Monty and Howie counties for a very nice drive. Runs VERY fast quite effortlessly.
Richard and Fernando did themselves proud!

Thanks for suggesting this one...awesome driving skills! I searched everywhere for Part 1, but all I come up with is a line that it was removed by the user.

Reminds me of when I bought every new tech when I could to include the Minolta 16P, and Sony 3" reel-to-reel tape recorder about the size of today’s, iPhones.

NOW I learn they are doing away with BlueRay for Sat downloads where you have a 3 terabyte local storage, $10/month + title and one-time equip purchase of $400. Can link to all TV's in the house.

why can't they us alone...us, that are addicted
