I think I still have the Roundel that talked about this. BMW only brought a handful into the country. It was more of a proof of concept, ohh and aww kind of thing to raise awareness.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a refurbished piece of audio equipment. Depending on the brand I might buy a refurbished computer. I bought a refurbished Onkyo 6 DVD changer several years ago and it's still working great.

Are you using Vista? If so, you're not the only one having that problem.

LCD TV should be fine. You aren't altering the path of any electrons in your picture.

I don't buy the guise of "the fuel is harmful to people" - Hydrazine has a boiling point of 237F. I think it is a convenient excuse to show certain countries that we can knock a satellite out of the sky if we were so inclined.

I love the sound of the engine. Here is a clip of him doing 194 mph in a M6 on the autobahn: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/186d ... fef720.htm

I have a PS2, X-Box, and Gamecube. I don't play any of those much anymore mainly due to a lack of time for such things.

An ex-girlfriend of mine had a great recipe for catfish but I am not sure how well it will translate to sole and cod. She would cover both sides in a mayo-mustard mixture and bake. Tasty!

That's pretty cool.

In a slightly similar vein, I have always wanted to own a sextant. I think it would look cool in my library.
