      My latest purchase (again, I had a gift card I'd been holding onto for a bit and decided to get rid of it before I lost it--this time B&N):

      7136191.jpg

      This was released in 1976, but the 2003 edition has 4 stories excised and 4 new ones inserted. And

      I've decided to make an attempt at understanding Eco's philosophies; something tells me that this is going to one of the most challenging books I've attempted in a long time.

            As for VCRs, I bought a couple for $5 each at a garage sale a few years ago and they worked fine. My daughter had a lot of kid movies on VHS, but has pretty much grown out of them now. I still have my first Sony VCR that I bought in 1993 for $440...!

            If your TV/DVD player combo has input jacks, you could just buy a cheap DVD player (I see them as low as $20) and plug it in. I certainly wouldn't pay to have the old DVD player fixed.
            I was only going to have the DVD player fixed because I like combos so much and have so many. It sounds funny that I'm an electrician but I don't like messing with all the wires for a seperate DVD player even thought it's rather easy to hook up. I guess I have a thing about combos

            But even if they do stop making them, I get the feeling DVD-r shops will be around a very long time, just like people still use VCRs (at least I hope they're stay around).

            LOL I remember in about that same year (1993), my grandma bought me a VCR and it was the latest amazing stereo VCRrs!! And the cost for that Zenith was about $450...the problem was I didn't even have a stereo TV lol. I exchanged it for a mono one.

                    Thanks all, I'm very happy with how it has turned out, a bit annoying that the signature page is on the other side of the cover but I will get over it :-)

                        "A cottage in the middle of England" would be my guess!

                          Haha well i guess you could come to mine, but hopefully later on i will be able to start selling them, i am just sorting out the finer details with Jerome at thedarktower.org . But if you would like to reserve a copy just send me a pm, and if you would like a certain letter mention that too.

                          The copies will be $25, of which $18 will go to the Haven Foundation fundraiser and $7 to me to cover a small portion of my costs. But in that price everyone will be entered in a drawing to win a piece of the original art by Glenn Chadbourne

                            I went with the high-end Sony model because it had....an S-Video output!!! I think it was an extra $40 for that feature I bought a 32" Sony TV at the same time, and the TV is still being used in our friends' basement as a kids' TV. They built them to last back then.

                                It looks great Tom. Worth every bit of effort, right?
