ohmygoodness! i'm the happiest little geek girl in all of geekdom right now!
not only did i manage to successfully hook/set-up my new dvd/vcr combo (why didn't anyone tell me that cables are so fucking expensive? and why don't they include them in the box? yeah, duh. i know, because they are so fucking expensive.) last night but, this very morning, i'm now the proud owner of a coveted gmail account! holy moly! i feel like... a total geek, yeah, but in a "i just got the COOLEST new toys" kind of way.
don't mind me, i'm going to go watch dvds until my eyes fall out and then i'm going to send everyone email about it!
hee!
i got a gmail account a few weeks ago and i'm really growing to love the heck out of it. it's gotten to the point where i absolutely HATE my normal Outlook e-mail at work.
I know it's just an email a/c, but for some reason, I'm jealous. I want one! =(
Huh, they're coveted? I never used mine after I signed up for it weeks back. It just didn't seem worth the effort. What am I missing?
Depends on what kind of cable you're using for the dvd. Unless you got a widescreen plasma or LCD TV... you have no need for s-video. Standard RCA cables are all you need for a standard TV, and they're dirt cheap. Anything more is overkill regardless what they tell you at the store. Same thing as the extended warrenty scam. Not necessary considering the cost, but boy do they ever push it on you.
fizzling, you have never seen the difference component cables can make. come over, i'll show you.
I used to work in video production... S-video cables are the bomb. You wouldn't believe it until you put everything side by side, but they rock.
I'm so glad I have a man who handles my cabling needs. Otherwise I would be sitting here cursing at a rabbit ear tv.
*goes to check out gmail*
actually, karl, it's all about the component cables. holy crap. they're sexyhot. just like you! ;)
