So get a popper newsreader or end up in lots of killfiles.

I'm experimenting with Thunderbird (in parallel with my normal
Turnpike). Without checking, I'm pretty sure that Thunderbird has the
option of automatically putting the reply cursor either at the top or
the bottom. And, like any good e-mail/news client, it also does quotes
properly. To do things wrongly, you really have to try hard.

Well your post looks absolutely fine to me.

Well, it would do - as I was using Turnpike.

However, this is Thunderbird. It will look the same.

Yes excellent system ye olde pike, here using VER 5.02;!...

Good man.

No good program;)

Haven't really found a better newsreader and the mail isn't lacking.

Apart from the 4 GB file limit size...

Until recently, I'd never used anything but TP. However (as you know),
there are certain problems with the V6 (terminal) versions of TP and
anything later than XP, so I thought it wise to experiment with
alternatives. It's probably only fortuitous that TP V5.02 still works
OK, and that even ITS days are numbered.

It almost seems to me that your a bit excessive re this matter. I don't

on our Bravia and really cannot.

Yes, I maybe am. I did my research last Autumn, so really no more than
six or eight months ago. There have been no significant technology
changes since then, so I don't think my experience is out of date.

On the other hand, I'm the first to admit that I'm probably way too
fussy.

The fact that top-of-the-range LCD TVs offer zoned backlighting does
suggest it offers an advantage, though.

I think a lot depends on the manufacturer of the LCD panel. I'm lucky
in having a Samsung S-PVA panel in my 40" TV - though the TV itself
isn't made by Samsung - since I believe these are the best for contrast,
response time and viewing angle. An LG panel, on the other hand, will
probably benefit from zoned backlighting.

As you will know, TP is no longer being supported by Demon/Thus/C&W, and
there are compatibility problems with the later versions of Windows. You
can't really rely on V5.02 continuing to work with Microsoft's ongoing
innovations. Even if you don't intend to change in the immediate future,
I reckon it's wise at least to 'get your hand in' with a potential
alternative.

So one has to wonder this then. If many of the major brands are buying in
stuff and sticking their name on it, saying they cannot make any money by
building their own, how do the people who have developed and are making the
sets they buy get to be making enough to sell them themselves in the first
place.
Its nothing new after all, when I worked for the tv manufacturing set up
back when we had a home grown one in the 60s, what did we do? We build other
peoples designs, or adapted them. Most of our IF strips were designed by
Plessey, we bought in the colour tbes and the associated control gear etc,
and in some cases where portables were needed brand engineered Japanese
imports.

I have an LCD Sony (EX503). Two friends (on my advice) have recently
bought LED backlit versions (EX7xx) as the CFL versions are now
obsolete. IMO the picture is a little inferior - the sound definitely
is.

Sony are abandoning OLED technology and partnerships in the upper end LCD
manufacture so perhaps expect their future products to be made to a lower
price/specification as they try and trade on their previous name for
quality to stem 8 years of losses selling TVs.

For what its worth my brother who is very fussy about picture quality got
this deal from John Lewis this week.

Paying the John Lewis price should include a selection of TV types to
test!

Steve


Well when we got ours they were about much the same price as online and
al least had some helpful knowledgeable staff around, an order better
than what we experienced at Richersounds and Comet and other white goods
warehouses...

In my experience of getting televisions delivered and installed John
Lewis provide a good service but it's no better than Tesco Direct.

As it seems is with all flat panel TV's . How can you get a good sound
with such a small flat thin case?...

I have three flat panel TV's and they all have good sound. I've no
idea how it's done!

The flat panel that really amazes me is my PC. It is a HP TouchSmart
310. The speakers are part of lower screen frame. It's about an inch
thick, two inch high and twenty inch long but it sounds excellent
apart from on very low frequencies.
