"Think conversion for your parents. They can play the VHS tapes they have, since they refuse to upgrade to DVD, and learn to use a DVR by recording the VHS on the HDD. Once they learn that, they can learn to rip them to DVD and get rid of the VHS."

My father is 66yrs old and i bought him a dvd tv recorder almost two years ago and since then he hasnt gone back to using VHS.

I say ditch VHS already were about to leap into another generation with HDDVD/BLURAY VHS is sooooo early 90s

but i personaly have a Media Centre shuttle with dual freeview tuners and dvdrw dual lyer drive i either store tv on the centre of download from the net which is the future. "even though that in its self has been around for years"

"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
