Intel from the recycled TV dumpster - 4 months ago
I recycled my old Samsung TV that died last week. Before I dropped it in the recycle bin I did a quick visual inspection of the brands that were in there. A LOT of LGs. Several Samsungs. One Sony. FWIWby chopper - Tips and Deals
Re: RIP Peter Bogdanovich - 4 months ago
I never saw the genius in any of his films ... but ....A very real and tangible link to Orson Wells, and John Ford. Although the whole Dotty Stratton saga was pretty weird even for Hollywood.by chopper - Tips and Deals

Re: Nikon tries to pull a fast one: Nikon aesthetics & price of rebadge Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 lens - 4 months ago
I'm a life-long Nikon shooter as you know. Since the 1970s. But I am getting a very "desperate" vibe from Nikon these days and I'm afraid I've had this opinion for a while.by chopper - Tips and Deals
Re: Monterey terminal speed test seems innacurate - 4 months ago
I've had real good luck flying in and out of the Monterey, CA airport. The last time I rashed up my rental car scraping against an in-n-out but I bribed the rental car guy with $10 to smooth things over.by chopper - Tips and Deals
Re: Looking at a used Volvo V50… Can anyone here provide a CarFax report? - 4 months ago
I have owned a Volvo and generally liked it. It was an older unit with a ton of miles (150k). It needed everything. The guy before me dumped $3000 in it and sold it to me for $500. I drove it for a few months, it started to puke tranny oil everywhere and I sold it for $300.by chopper - Tips and Deals

Re: Is Typical Samsung TV Life Now About 3-4 Years? - 4 months ago
I'd buy it with AMEX, and the extended warranty. The last time I just went to the salesman and said what is the nicest TV you have .. for $300. Might have to raise that this time.by chopper - Tips and Deals
Re: Is Typical Samsung TV Life Now About 3-4 Years? - 4 months ago
The shadow moved to the other side of the screen, the screen flickered then it made a pop noise and now no picture. I hate buying new TVs just because of the torrent of specs that are thrown at a consumer.by chopper - Tips and Deals
Is Typical Samsung TV Life Now About 3-4 Years? - 4 months ago
My TV, which sees minimal use, suddenly went half-black or shadowed on the screen the other night. Real bummer as this is the time of year we actually use it--when it's subzero outside. I really like Samsung OS on the TV and that it has an OTA receiver that gets a ton of channels. Is 3-4 years average lifespan now?by chopper - Tips and Deals

Re: Looking at a used Volvo V50… Can anyone here provide a CarFax report? - 4 months ago
My buddy who has been "jocking cars" (buying selling cars for fun and profit) for 30 years swears Carfax is meaningless and grifters are able to slide scary repair/non-repair history past CF easily.by chopper - Tips and Deals

Re: don garlits dragsters - 5 months ago
Big Daddy is a true legend. His brother was a big help but gets little credit. This is EXACTLY why Smokey Yunick forbid his daughter to do a museum after his death; because people would come in, see priceless stuff that is no where else and then complain about it being a mess and bad lighting. Smoke was right.by chopper - Tips and Deals
