Gday All

My setup was only completed last weekend.. I have

1/ a Desk top computer (duh).. 19" Flat screen.. I back up to DVDs
2/ Broadband net connection... a router with 4 usb ports so others can enjoy the connection by using long cables.. pick your speed then enjoy
3/ Surround sound system (gotta rock out at times) Good when watching the cricket can turn the nine team off and listen to the abc..
4/ Austar connection..

Back to last weekend... I have a daughter who is heading to Uni at Armidale.. I had promised her a laptop (still don't have one myself).. So off I set b4 the races last saturday to grab one for her... I lobbed into the local electrical shop, had a look and found an acer for her marked at 1400$.. But something caught my eye in the TV area.. an 81 cm SHARP LCD TV. Not a no name thing... They had a price of 999$ on it... I thought.. hello this thing must be cactus..asked a couple of questions... and said to the sales guy.. do me a deal on the laptop and the tv.. this we did.. 1898$ all up.. So I was absolutely wrapped.. must be hard times in electrical retailing in this country town...

Bought the TV home (it was a new one in the box not the display) hooked it up.. and the races look great.. best grand I have ever spent.. I would reccommend that type of TV to anyone, you need to be able to see the horses as they are going around after all... provided you have the room...

Cheers
