OT: Spurs-Arse*&$@ live in Houston?
Been blinkin' ages since I last posted - that's what you get when moving house and not getting broadband connected!
Anyway, I find myself in Houston right now and needing to find somewhere that's showing Spurs-Arse*&$@ live tomorrow. Efforts so far have drawn a blank - Ron's on Westheimer, the Richmond Arms, Fox & Hound..... no joy!
Anybody have experience of live footie in Houston to make any other recommendations? Else I'll be limited to following progress by text message!

However, Toshiba will be selling new HD-DVD's before then (prob around Feb '06), so you won't have to wait long.
Anyhow, surely everyone has Projectors now instead of TV's?
Much easier having the screen roll up at the touch of a button. Plus you can have it bolted to the ceiling out of the way. Plus, they were High-Definition ready many years ago (via Component (Red, Green and Blue) connection, of course).

God no - LCD's much trendier & better resolution (not that I'm biased or anything, having shelled out for a 32 incher new model, only released 3 weeks ago.).Maybe if you live out in the country, and have your own cinema/bar type lounge in the basement I suppose - but not for urban living, can't imagine.

In respect to the projector argument - my 10 foot screen is quite good for the rugby matches and movies, I can assure you........
Plus, the resolution is very good you would be surprised (may I recommend the Panasonic AE700 most highly.....
