I certainly wouldn't put a copy in my collection, just because Kubrick
made it.

I'll join you.

I sold it to the lawn guy when we got the Sony.

Will it also serve as a monitor for your computer? I used ours for that
and watching TV when we first settled into Texas.

I saw plasmas at Best Buy, but they were far and few...probably not good
sellers for the price they're asking for them.

Not as much as the noises in my head.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
