I know I just bought me a Pioneer laserdisc player that blows PS
fuses, Pioneer DVD/CD 5-disc carousel and Wednesday a Sony CRT
projector then a replacement board and maybe the case, $50 and then
some and a Sony ST-80F tuner (the stand up kind with a round dial).

Do I know if Windows XP is or actually isn't posessed by Linda Blair
and Damien Thorne? Beats me, I cannot beat my computer.
