I have never even seen an X5 much less heard one so no comment. However, I have 3 Creative Zens and I have to disagree on the overly bright sound. Nano+, Sleek Photo and Vision:M 60 all sound very full, smooth, great bass and flowing full highs. Phones are KSC35 or HD600 with Total Airhead...

Pretty car. Congrats

Pattie got an 05 Mazda 3 in May. Great little car. Very good performance for what it is, good room, good handling and we haven't noticed any lag in the transmission. Of course, if I'm pushing it I shift it manually but There really isn't much need to push it to blow away the "F*rt can" equipped...

Formula One hasn't been fun since Fangio and Moss retired. NASCAR has gotten to money oriented. WRC is good but I think I'll stick with WoO. The winged sprints are fun. And that's what it's really supposed to all be about. Long live King Kinser.

An interview on local TV, Paul said there wouldn't be a wardrobe malfunction. "We're playing naked!". I think it'll be a lot better show than that disaster last year. Everybody on stage last year couldn't combine to have the talent McCartney has.

Just finished "Fellowship of the Ring" extended edition to prepare fore "Two Towers" gonna pick up this mormimg.

Soon as Blockbuster opens. I'll get the other one in November anyway. Just don't want to wait. B*&%ards know how to milk some extra cash.

Major surgery on my arm Friday, so nothing to do for the next 2 weeks until I start rehab. We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding yesterday. I did Terminator last night. We'll probably warch Patriot this afternoon. Also gotta watch Fellowship of the Ring before Tuesday so that I can go straight...

Easy Rider DVD. Just as good as it was 30+ years ago. The movie, not the DVD/

Dragon Rider series by Anne McCaffrey again. Read most of the Dirk Pitt stuff by Clive Cussler. Keeps interest and kills time. He was very involved in the project to find the Hunley, the Confederate sub from the War of Northern Aggression.

I go to Old Time Barber Shop. Looks exactly like that. Retired couple from Ohio. Try to go when she's there. I think he's gettin' blind. $10

I go through hitting delete and occasionaly wipe stuff I wanted. Pisses me off, but not sure what to do about it other than new and or multiple mail accounts. Too much trouble.

Enter the Dragon is obviously the standard by which all others must be judged. However, I love Under Seige, despite Segal.

No but I forgot Patiie's this year. Nearly fatal

tjkurita I believe the main reason this entire forum exists is because there are SOOO many different, fabulous sounding HP setups, with dedicated headphone amps that we are had to have a way to share information that you can't get in stores. My HD600/Little Premium Module setup is...

Lets see, 41 on August 3. Oh wait, that's my Daughter. 14 on November 24. No wait, That's my youngest Grandaughter. 6 months past the first anniversary of 3 score years? That's pretty close.

I'm 61 and amaze myself every morning I wake up. If I'da known I was gonna live this long, I'da took better care of myself. Of course, Grandkids and a Great-Grandson are fun benefits of gettin old.

Can't believe nobody's mention the Airplane. Surealistic Pillow, Volunteers, etc. Country Joe & the Fish; Not So Sweet Martha Loraine. One that I'm sure he wishes a few of us would forget; First Edition featuring Kenny Rogers, Just Dropped In. Yeah that Kenny Rogers. I guess I'm old.

All I can tell you is I've been doing it for a couple of years, apparently successfully 'cause nothing has blown up.

As far as NASCAR, they are some of the best, endurance trained athletes in the world. 3 to 4 hours in 130* plus temperatures, wearing a fire retardant suit, driving side by side at up to 200 MPH where the slightest distraction or inattention puts somebody into the concrete out of bounds...

If you don't think golf at the top takes hard work and dedication, check out Tiger and the guys that are trying to beat him. BTW, anybody catch the finish at Darlington yesterday????? 400 miles and Craven won by 0.002 seconds. Not really sure how they even time it that close.

I got a great deal from Palm on my m505. Love it and the color screen is great 'cause I use it for games and maps. The m500 is the monchrome version. The 515 has more memory, but I have expansion cards, so don't have a problem with memory, at least yet.

Don't they know outboard motors have been around for over 75 years now????? Proven technology. Don't need oars or paddles, just big gas tanks. Saves lots of effort and goes a hell of a lot faster!!!!
