DirectX 12

A nightmare? 250 other countries have already done this conversion. 95% of the world. Are you saying we are the only ones not smart enough to manage this?

That should be Varchar2(20).

You are being ridiculous...cause you forgot Amazon.

I applied for the coupons, between then and the time they arrived and I set out to buy one I just went and got an HD tv instead.
The idea of running a second piece of equipment to a tv with not nearly enough inputs, a seriously reduction in picture quality, and the drop in HD tv costs convinced me. I also figure a new LCD tv is more efficient than the old beast I was using.

I have had them not work in the garage when it gets to around zero fahrenheit, aparently there are special ones for places that are cold. So there are a few places where they don't work or aren't as good, but for most places they are great. As for the price I have found them on sale and in Wisconsin and Iowa (at least) they have a rebate from the utilities companies. And if you have a farm you can get them free. http://www.we-energies.com/agricultureservices/ene rgyeff/ag_energyeff.htm
