Hi Carl,how are you feeling,hope things are getting better for you.......Youre right on with this Blue Ray thing, the players themselves are a royal rip off,twice to even three times the cost of a "normal "DVD player and the discs are the same,its o.k. for these companies to spend millions developing these systems,but not so in them hoping to recuperate it from the "gullible public" who are getting pissed off at being duped,same as that con HDTV did they tell you, that you needed a decoder when they were advertising them,no they didnt,and while i,m on this bandwagon,how about this UKTV on freeview then,its all BBC programmes thats being transmitted but the beeb want a subscription for that as well,and monthly,why cant the beeb be abolished,why,if you dont pay your license fee are you subject to imprisonment,i was talking to a friend in Axton Virginia,who didnt believe me about this subject,ah well,musnt grumble,must keep my feelings to myself,unless of course i,m one of the new majority..........Dave
