Legality never bothered Larry. It's just his contribution to the plot to
put the jew run movie studios out of business.

You can store 100 movies in
the space of a couple of paperbacks.


A hundred? You want me to ERASE 90% of the hard drive??...(c;

There's another issue on a boat, too. DVD/CD storage of FRAGILE disks
for the DVD player. If he gets a nice laptop and adds one of the
monsterous hard drives in a $39 USB external hard drive box, there are NO
disks to store, scratch, curse over when they don't work. Just plug in
the USB drive, select which genre music/movies you want and pick from the
400 movies and 25,000 music files to play. Load the drive at home and
just carry it all to the boat. My 750GB external hd is about a foot
long, 3" thick and 5" wide. DivX movies from alt.binaries.movies.divx
end up being from 700MB to 1.4GB each, depending on how the ripper
compressed them. Storing 500 of these movies is easy!

Those old movies you like are also posted to:

There's thousands of them on usenetserver.com as I'm typing this. Help
yourself..(c;

I've collected a few and no, I don't send them out:

DVDs are not fragile, less so than a HD. Keep them in a thick CD wallet
and you're all done. I used a laptop for a TV on a boat. It was a high
end dell. The angles for best viewing were pretty poor compared to my
smaller Sony. Also, for a few bucks my Sony gets a total replacement at
Circuit City. That warranty on the Dell was a lot more and I was
risking a 1600 dollar machine...not a good thing just to watch an
occasional movie. Because the Sony's screen swivels and folds flat
tablet style, it can also be mounted.

Except for Herb, I always look at those forecasts with a little
skeptism - I think about why they are saying what they say, and I look
at the weather map and the radar images that they show and make up my
own mind.

If you are heading offshore don't forget the satellite photos and the
7 day Navy wave height forecast. I find them invaluable and suspect
that Herb does also.

Also on the internet, take a look at:

They come pretty close to having it all.

Forget the TV. I just got back from Wallyworld. There is something really
illogical about seeing THREE million dollar plus Wonderlodges "camping" in
the parking lot! I think I would rather anchor off the commercial dock at
Ponce than a Wal-Mart parking lot. :-)

Yes, and some of these so called RV parks don't look very appealing
either.

If I can decide ??? Always a hard thing ... and I can buy two or three extra
battery packs on Ebay cheap ... why not.

Go to your favorite marine store and buy a $30 inverter. Play your
DVDs, charge your cell phone, power your laptop, run your electric
drill, TV, etc., etc.

I was just looking at a chart .... since you seem to know the area
.. is it a tough ride up the Kennebec?

In my experience the toughest part is at the entry. If you have a
strong outgoing tide/current against an incoming southerly swell,
things can get a bit "disturbed". Pick your day and time and you'll
be fine.

TV Onboard Report ::; from the sailor who started this madness.


Got a laptop computer?

Feh, jack of all trades, master of none. For something simple like watching
a movie using a laptop sucks compared to a plain old portable DVD player.
The DVD players don't have to boot (or have an entirely crappy BIOS player).
That and portable DVD players generally have *considerably* better battery
life than laptops. Finally, one's spouse, family, friends and/or children
can generally use a portable DVD player entirely without assistance. Never
underestimate the value of simple devices.

I've got laptops and know how to use them. I greatly prefer a plain DVD
player instead.
