My May issue didn't make it all the way to 33 24 26S 115 38 22E.

Cruising World advises that:-

''. We apologize that this issue is permanently out of stock. We have
extended your subscription for 1 issue and your new subscription expiration
date is May 2010.''


I's suspicious and smell something. I thouth that mags usually kept a
couple of hundred back for back issue reasons and the like.

If anyone's got a copy, is there anything in it that would cause a general
"disappearing" of the evidence, so to speak? Slander? General slapping down
of someone who sued? Product bitch?

To be permanently out of stock in the same month of issue is weird.

Just a thought.

I can't remember if I got it and tossed it when I was (sorry, recycled it)
or I never got it. If the former, I didn't see anything. I didn't get any
notice though.

It had a two-page advert from Chrysler and Obama ordered Chrysler to cut
their advertizing budget in half. So Chrysler refused to pay the rag for the
add and the rag pulled all printed copies not already in circulation.

Thanks Obama for nothing! That's all your good for - nothing!

I got my issue, but the cover was torn. I shot them an e-mail and I
had a new copy three days later. It's probably their best issue EVER.

Obvious BS. The rag would have had to refund the money to all of the
other advertisers. They would still have to pay the printer. And I am
sure Chisler would have stalled them until the ads were in
circulation.

C'mon, Martin! I've been away for quite a while. But here's a new shot
of my home theater which now has a much improved 1080p projector and
larger screen as of January.

Looks nice Bob, three things:

Why only 1080?

Aren't you too far from the screen, or is that just and effect of a wide
angle lens?

Electric baseboard heat! In New York State? Are you nuts?

1080p is the highest level format via easily obtainable HD sources. I
see a a fairly small improvement from my previous 720p projector,
though the jump from 480p is significant. The image from either 720 or
1080 is utterly film-like when set up well.

The screen is 11 feet wide and the seating distance is actually a bit
two close at 15 feet. The effect you see is from the wide Nikon lens
used.

The baseboard is functional, but not how the room is heated anymore.
I've been too lazy to remove it. The eventual plan is to put in a
larger screen and a better sound system (currently a simple SVS &
Denon system).
The overall effect of the system is that of being in a small theater,
but with better picture and sound. HD sporting events are simply
stunning as well. Via the PS3 you can even cruise the web on the big
screen.
