If my son hadn't dumped the 21 in Austin, I would have been interested in the soldering job. I called the folk that had supplied it -- $160 I think it was -- and she said that she would exchange it cos of the watery picture and fly-back lines. I offered to do it, but I guess that she was worried that I might kill myself and then make them liable. Actually, I think the Rivetess would have sent her a bunch of flowers and a box of candy.
Anyway, I'm okay at home in Essex, and more or less okay here for now thanks.
What I'm waiting for is a truly multi-synching flat screen. Can't afford another posh telly though.
