Hey guys!
A long overdue update, and I am ALIIIVE and quite well.
For all of the old timers that remember me, I just thought I'd pop in and say hello. For the rest of you... Ask around. 
I'm posting in the CRT forum since this is where we all hang out, sooo.....
I pretty much stopped posting after I got burned out with the same NEC questions over and over and over..... seems no one knew how to use a search button. I just got tired, I guess.
So I'm out of the Home Theater/CRT hobby, except for my own. When Doug got ill and I was asked to take over some of his customers I had to soundly decline. There are some not so nice reasons for this, but in the end it's just not worth it for me.
In the meantime I am doing my own thing and have branched into the Reel to Reel field. I collect and restore Studer and Revox gear, as well as B&O and Tandberg.
In short, I'm still having fun! I hang out on the Audio forums these days.
I'm still running the modded PG 10, but I have to admit... some of the DLP sets are getting pretty good...... 
Got me thinking....
Hope everyone is doing well. Give me a shout, I'll watch this thread a while. I tend to stay out of other chatter these days.
I do miss you guys, but alas.. my life has also changed a lot. Not much to talk about on a projector forum anymore.
Oh yeah.... happy thanksgiving!
Marc

Yeah, it's been ages....
I just cannot believe how FAST this year has screamed by! I mean, seriously? I JUST packed up the Christmas lights.
Or so it seems.....
I laughed my ass off at Cliff's triple stack video. Priceless!
I COULD try that with the 4 PGplus machines I still have.......

Ya know, you come in here bitching about all the NEC questions, and what do you do? You go an answer a bunch of NEC questions! Methinks it's your fault! 
Welcome back....

Hahaha.... yeah. Kept it short, though.
A Search will likely dig up everything he needs.
I thought you gave up "Minty" on ebay??

Yes I have. The Optoma HD20... at Under a grand, it's not bad at all. Black is still not black, but the rest is very good.
Best price on one is $660.. soooo.... I may pick one up to just play with. A friend of mine brought his by and honestly, it wasn't bad!
But for movie watching on a budget I'm thinking the Epson 8700UB since
I couldn't care less for 3D. It has very good blacks. I just don't watch enough HT anymore to spend more than 2K on another
projector. At my rate, a 2000 hour bulb will last me another 20 years. Life keeps me otherwise occupied now.
I have built speakers before, but nowadays I don't. Nothing fancy back then, however.
Today I use a pair of Beolab Penta II's, and am happy with them.
Marc
