So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Help Needed from techy peope. Been looking to replace my bulky ageing hi-fi system with something a tad more discrete and modern. I had been kinda hoping to get one of these buggers, but its a wee bitty dear and in any case it looks like they are getting rid of this model and replacing it with a more expensive version. The rationale as well as wanting a new hi-fi basically is to get shot of 2 Ikea towers of CDs which takes up a lot of space over and above that taken up by the hi-fi. So something with a hard drive that could hold them all would be good. Then I noticed that Philips seem to do a scaled down version, with a hard drive as well, which is a bit cheaper, but then I got to thinking, If I could get a laptop for the same sort of price, would that not be just as good hooked up to a cinerama style speaker set up. It could also double up as a direct link from laptop to tv for BBC's iPlayer and downloads. Our hearing isn't getting any better as we age, so sound quality isn't as high a priority as it might have been once. So any advice you can offer would be welcome.Labels: Dilemmas
