Opinions on Samsung UN75H6350

I know it's a tough question but I would appreciate help from actual users.
We are in the process of buying a big TV for our game room.
The front runner is the Samsung UN75H6350. We already own a 60" Samsung 6300 model bought last year at Best Buy for the living room and we're pleased with it. We do not exclude other brands/models though, as long as they are at least 70"
We are almost exclusively interested in picture quality. We don't care for Smart features, We have 4 computers and 1 tablet at home and we don't stream videos with the TV. We use Comcast cable TV and we watch movies w/ a bluray player.
We don't care for 3D either that's why we're leaning towards the 6350 model
TV sound is not important either because we have a soundbase Zvox 555 which provides all the sound we need, both for the TV and for our stereo system.
We mostly watch sports (golf, football, hockey, car racing, tennis), concerts (Palladia), movies (both cable and with the bluray) and regular HD cable channels.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there Frenchbiker-
Hopefully we’ll get some commentary from our community on your inquiry, but you could also visit your local Best Buy store and I’m sure our Home Theater folks would be able to answer your questions.  They may also be able to show you some models side by side so you get a better idea of picture quality as well.
Thanks for posting!

  • New HD installed. System profiler says "Writable:no"

    I physically put in a new Samsung 750 gb HD. Mac recognized it. Whew.
    But it will not let me copy anything to it nor use it as scratch disk.
    Computer friend said "Must format it. Find instructions in 'disk utility' or 'Mac' help."
    Sadly, no such instructions.
    Advice from the knowledgeable?
    Thank you.
    Any opinions on Samsung drives?

    Hi-
    In "Erase", name your drive. Check "Mac OS Extended Journaled", and click "Erase".
    The drive will be ready to use.
    If you want to split the drive into partitions. in "Partition", create the partitions, name the partitions, select Mac OS Extended Journaled, and click "Partition". The new volumes will be ready for use.
    Erasing and partitioning both format the drive
    Please read What is a Mac OS Extended (journaled) volume?

  • I need opinions. I currently on dilemma on buying iPod Touch 4 or Samsung Galaxy Tab. Comparing these two, which one is better? Why? Tq.

    Well, I want to buy a new gadget for myself. But I currently don't know which one to choose yet. Both iPod Touch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab are great inventions! But i can't afford to buy both of them. So i'm asking all of you, any ideas or opinions on these two gadget? Which one is better and why? What do iPod 4 have that Samsung Tab don't have and vice versa. Thank you so much if you replying this.

    I'm having the same issues you are having on my S3.  I was on the phone with tech support (Verizon) last Friday for about an hour.  I had to get a bit nasty with the tech when he attempted to blame Samsung for this (Samsung didn't release that update without Verizon's OK- and have you noticed Verizon has added their logo to the startup now?).
    My data usage has gone up, battery draining much faster (and I have an extended battery!) and I had to re-load some of my widgets on the phone (including the My Verizon widget).  The tech had me start the phone in Safe Mode (holding down the power, volume rocker and Home button at the same time until the Samsung logon screen shows then let go of the power button while continuing to hold the other two buttons until the phone logs on completely).
    Whatever he did remotely seemed to make the phone act better yet he decided I need the update 'reflashed' to the phone.  First he credited my account $30 to take care of any possible data overages.  He then contacted my local Best Buy store to see if they could 'reflash' (upload the update again) the phone. 
    I went to Best Buy and had it done the next day.  I think the phone was better before the 'reflash'!  The tech gave me his personal Verizon cell number so I will be calling him back today.
    An update for the update is coming yet the release date hasn't been confirmed.  The tech said my account will be monitored for any overages in which I will received credits to cover it.
    Good luck, Ginger- and I agree with you: if this doesn't get fixed I will move my business to T-Mobile!

  • New to forum and opinions on the Lenovo T420 being my first Lenovo Thinkpad?

    First off thanks for letting me join.  Just wanted to get some opinions from some of the more experienced Lenovo owners and users.  I want to pick up the T420 as my first Lenovo Thinkpad.  What is the overall verdict on this laptop (Good build quality, reliability issues, or anything else I should be aware of)?  I use to own a IBM Thinkpad and just missed the overall layout of the Thinkpad specific look and functionality.  To date, the IBM Thinkpad has been my favorite Windows based laptop.  Any and all opinions would be deeply appreciated.
    May God bless!
    Ed

    I've only had my T420 for a couple of weeks but so far I really like it.  I reminds me of a mini version of the W520.  My T420 has the i7 processor, NVIDIA Optimus and most of the options.  I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and currently have the Intel Series 510 120GB SSD in the primary bay.  I am waiting for a Samsung Series 830 SSD to arrive.
    No complaints so far.  It runs nice, quiet and cool.
    If I were going to improve anthing on the machine, it would be the screen.  The 1600x900 AUO screen on mine is fair but I can live with it.  I bought this machine new on eBay for an excellent price.
    I am using the 6 cell battery right now and get a little over four hours of battery life. The 9 cell is quite a bit better but I like the flush lighter 6 cell.
    Love the keyboard.  The trackpad is fair but I haven't tweaked the Ultranav settings yet.  Been using a mouse mose of the time.
    I have several ThinkPads and I think the T420 is an excellent balance of power and features.  I am comparing it to my X301, T410s, T61p and W510.  I added a 34mm USB 3.0 ExpressCard (still testing).
    After my experience with the W520 random shutdowns, I won't be totally comfortable with this machine for a couple of months but it's looking really good so far.  I am optimistic.

  • Get a Samsung HDTV and ATV or wait for the latest model?

    A newbie to HDTV, video and ATV.
    I have almost decided to buy the Samsung 50" plasma HDTV PN50A650. But have discovered that Samsung has a new model PN50A760 with added capabilities for playing video and wireless networking.
    Connectivity is an issue to me. Spending all the green on a HDTV, I do not want it to be obsolete in 4 years. What if I get a digital camcorder? Or Apple introduces a flat-rate movie-rental scheme? My options:
    OPTION A) Wait a few months until the $500 premium for the new model drops.
    Some excerpts for reviews of the latest 760 model:
    "The 7 series can playback video content stored on a USB device while the 6 series are limited to images and audio."
    (Naively, I thought that all HDTVs should be able to play back video.)
    "The 7 Series can stream audio, video and pictures over your home network."
    "The TV recognizes not only MP3 and JPEG files but also XviD and MPEG4 files to enjoy video playback."
    "The TV can also reach out to your home network and play back photos, videos and music stored on networked computers. You'll need to install special software, included with the TV, onto your PC." This could be some very basic software. Suitable for Macs?
    "While this feature seems pretty cool, it's not as good as similar functionality built into a PS3 or an Xbox 360, let alone that of a dedicated network media streamer like Apple TV. Despite being billed as DLNA-compliant, the TV won't play nice with DLNA server software like Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity, so you're stuck with the included proprietary software. Samsung's software is basic..." (Compatibility with Macs?)
    OPTION B) Buy the older model and then, add ATV. The total cost will be less and I think, the video playback (through my iMac?) and networking capabilities (2Wire Wi-Fi) will be much better. But I see there have been problems between ATV and Samsung HDTV.
    Isn't the combo with ATV a much more capable and flexible (and cheaper) long-term solution? Which Samsung is unlikely to match?
    Thanks for your valuable advice! (Urgent for the X-Mas season!)

    Winston, I think you're missing my points:
    1) If you're interested in a device for watching HD video, then you can compare the AppleTV and Blu-Ray. You then have to look at what other features they provide, or don't provide as the case may be, and decide. I was just giving my opinion on an alternative.
    2) There was no detailed information given as to what the streaming capabilities were and so I was giving my opinion again.
    To say that there is little difference quality wise between current HD broadcasts (even if some are 1440x1080i) and the maximum output of the AppleTV at 1280x720 shows a total lack of experience on your part of watching HD broadcasts on a TV capable of 1920x1080, or a lack of appreciation of the better detail contained in the picture. It's like comparing AppleTV HD at 1280x720 with DVD PAL native resolution of 720x576 and saying there is little difference quality wise. But then if you look at the US market where 30fps is standard, the AppleTV cannot support resolutions higher than 960x540, and then you really are lowering the benefits of the AppleTV over DVD quality, and the difference between the AppleTV and HD broadcasts is even bigger.
    I have compared video from HD broadcast at 1920x1080 with the same video converted down to 1280x720 on the AppleTV, and the loss of detail is noticeable, especially when watching on a 40" TV, not an uncommon size these days with them being used with games consoles. Before you comment, no it is nothing to do with how I convert them, there is just physically far fewer pixels available. I much prefer watching 1920x1080 through my Media PC than watching 1280x720 through my AppleTV.
    Also, as we all know it happens, there is software available freely on the internet - no names will be mentioned - that allow the convertion of movies from DVD to a PC, and likewise from HD-DVD and Blu-Ray to a PC. So reality is that it's available now and with the cost of 1TB and 1.5TB HDDs so cheap, the potential for a 1920x1080 resolution video collection for playing on a 1920x1080 TV is already there. Saying it's not going to happen 'any time soon' is rediculous as it's already happening, albeit quietly, especially as talk of how to do such things is not allowed on this forum.
    You keep using this phrase 'any time soon' without quantifying it. You use words like 'unlikely'. We live in a fast changing world. The world of televisions has changed dramatically in the last two years, whereby nearly all mid-priced TVs (both plasma and lcd) from about £800 GBP upwards now support native 1920x1080. Two years ago I paid over £1500 GBP for a 37" plasma supporting native 1024x720. You can now buy Sony OLED 11" TVs, which a couple of years ago were just being shown off as prototypes. In my opinion, OLED will blow away lcd and plasma tv sales within 5 years, and in my timescale, that is any time soon.
    12 months ago I bought a blu-ray player for a PC, whilst people around me were going for hd-dvd. The format wars was predicted as not going to end 'any time soon' and no one could have forseen that within 6 months the whole blu-ray / hd-dvd argument would be over.
    For your information, ABC in the US have been broadcasting in HD for over 10 years.
    But as I keep saying Winston, these are my opinions. You're allowed yours and I'm allowed mine.

  • Saga of Samsung fridge RB1955VQ with bottom freezer

    My saga with the Samsung fridge had a happy ending!
    Would You believe it? I wouldn't!
    Upon the seventh (yep: 7 th!) visit, Best Buy finally managed to fix the problem!
    Here is what happened:
    On the sunday after Thanksgiving, my Samsung fridge RB1955VQ broke down (bought in 2004).
    The bottom freezer was working OK, but the upper fridge was not and the display showed 4-61 (instead of 4-38) and sometimes even 4-71.
    The Best Buy Geek squad came into action:
    - visit # 1: service technician looked at what is wrong - Display = 4-61. Spare parts were ordered.
    - visit # 2: tech replaced the temperature sensor + fan motor - still not working, display= 4-61
    - visit # 3: tech rechecked wiring of the replaced parts
    - visit # 4: two tech came (one with more experience) to take a look
    - visit # 5: new mother board was installed - fridge would work only for 2-3 minutes and then turns off.
                 Display still showed  4-61!
    - visit # 6: tech came again - to check wiring and connections. More spare parts were ordered.           
    - visit # 7: tech replaced the switch + display board. Display= 4-41 at first, and after running one
                 hour later, 4-38 showed up! Magic! The fridge now works again correctly (as of Feb-20)
    The parts that were finally replaced were: 1) the door switch (that controls the light when the door is opened or closed),and 2) the small display board ( temperature display for the upper and lower fridge). (This board was buit inside the front door).
    Thank You to Best Buy and in particular its Geek Squad members from the Baltimore, MD area.
    The spare parts were replaced free or charge, by the way. I was issued a refund fro the parts.
    So, would I buy again from Best Buy?
    Definitely YES, their support was friendly, persistent and in the end successful (but I sure wish their service people would be better trained).
    Would I buy another Samsung fridge? This is a different matter. I would research the Internet and user opinions first, and also compare to other more etablished brands with a longer service record. This particular model was known to freeze some food in the fridge side (upper part) and to have some water/ice forms under the vegetable drawers.
    Thank You again, Best Buy Geek Squad.

    I also have a Samsung Fridge but its the side by side model and I did am not having any issues like that. Wow have you called Samsung at all?

  • Sharp 32" LCD HDTV or should we go with Samsung LCD HDTV?

    Hi-
    I'd like some opinions please.
    We are in the market for a 32" flat screen tv - our first- and we cannot decide between the Samsung 32" 1080p Flat Panel LCD HDTV or the Sharp-AQUOS 32" 1080p Flat Panel LCD HDTV?
    Consumer Reports has not yet rated the Sharp per my brother but he said Samsung ranked #1.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks-
    Peanut

    THAT I find surprising, especially considered that 5-6 years ago Sharp commanded something like 60-70% of the OEM LCD panel market.  That is, they were the original manufacturer of the screens used in products branded by a LOT of other people - they didn't sell very much under their own name.  I am positive that not too long ago they were the #1 or #2 manufacturer of LCD panels (not fully assembled units, but the source of panels to other manufacturers) in the world.
    Similarly, I'd be extremely shocked for Sharp to be using another manufacturer's "B" screens when Sharp manufactures their own panels.
    Also, Korean companies like Samsung have historically had a worse quality track record than Japanese companies like Sharp, although recently (the past 5-10 years), the Korean companies have made SIGNIFICANT improvements in quality control.

  • Samsung - 50" Class vs Panasonic 50"

    I'm looking at these two Plasma TVs, each of them the same price and offer about the same feature. Since I can't have them both...I need your opinions on which one is the better deal. The room the Plasma TV will be in is going to be quite dark. It is located in our basement and all windows have curtains on them. We will be sitting about 10 feet or less away from the TV. (in cause you needed to know those details)
    I'm stuck between the
    Samsung - 50" Class / 1080p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV
    or the
    Panasonic - VIERA / 50" Class / 1080p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV
    Can someone recommend one over the other or tell me which one is the better deal? Thanks!

    My choice funny as it sounds would be the Samsung.  I find that the Panasonics have a Red and Green push that can only be corrected with Professional calibration.  The Samsung gives you enough adjustments to do it on your own.  You do have more of a chance with a Buzzing sound from the Samsung but I haven't really seen or heard of that really be a problems with the C models as much as it was with the B models.  I would recommend checking out AVS forums and typing in Samsung 50c550 vs Panasonic 50s2 and see what comes up.  Realized your going to get people you love Samsung and people who love Panasonic replies so most of them will be Biased.

  • Samsung LN52A650 Audio - HDMI or Optical Cable

    Hello,
    I purchased the Samsung LN52A650 in December and just had it mounted. I keep hearing conflicting opinions in regards to whether or not I need a digital optical cable for the audio or will an hdmi cable suffice? I have a Denon AVR1909 receiver and will be hooking a PS3 to it as well as a 7.2 speaker system. Will my hdmi cable carry the audio that i need? Thanks very much.
    Sincerely,
    VM The Prince 
    Solved!

    Actually, if you are wanting to use your PS3 as a BD player, and want to hear the HD audio codecs contained on BD movies, you have to use HDMI. Toslink won't carry the new codecs.

  • How to uninstall and reinstall network drivers on a Samsung 580?

    Hi. During the summer, I got a new laptop. It was all fine and dandy when I was at home, using a dial up connection, but when I went to school, I immediately had problems. Neither the cable connection nor the wireless worked. I've got the wireless to work (only the IPV4 connectivity though, IPV6 does not have connectivity), but cable still isn't workinng. I know it's not the cable cord or jack in the wall because I'm typing this from my old laptop. I made a  thread on the Windows 7 forum here that provides a further detailed report of the issue as well as some diagnostic stuff (the ipconfig/all thing and whatnot).
    I'm thinking maybe the problem will fix itself if I reinstall the driver - since I might have monkeyed around with something and made it worse.
    I'm asking how to do that. The driver is a Marvell Yukon 88E8059 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller and I have a samsung 580. I made backup discs when I first got the computer and I just want to remove and add one driver. If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll have to do a clean wipe (again, steps please?) unless anyone can offer any further advice.

    The information asked for above would really help. Since you don't have a copy of just the network chipset/card driver, please go to the manufactuer's website and download the driver manually. This will overwrite the old driver. However, again, it doesn't sound like this is the problem - still, having the most current drivers is always advisable.

  • Motorola Droid X or HTC Droid Incredible or Samsung Fascinate or Wait?

    Hey Guys,
    Im currently an At&t customer and I absolutely hate my service. I went with it for the At&t Unity Family Plans and Rollover, but have since found it sucks. I currently use a Blackjack II. Anyways, my contract just ended and Im looking at buying a new phone soon. I am only considering Verizon due to the reputed network reliability.
    At this point I have several options in front of me, and I want you guys opinions on what you think is a good phone for me? I generally consume a few GB of data per month, send 2500 texts or so, and talk a little as well. My primary uses are gaming, multimedia, texting, and web browsing. Size isn't an issue, however I do a LOT of multitasking.
    Please tell me which of the following is the best phone for me in your opinion?
    Motorola Droid X
    HTC Droid Incredible
    Samsung Fascinate
    In addition, after doing so, do you think its worth it to buy now? Or should I wait a few more months and get the rumoured LTE phones or iPhone thats coming to Verizon in late 2010/early 2011.

    I want to point out it is not my intention to ruffle any feathers. I used to considered myself a loyal Verizon customer, but maybe after nine years with any carrier you have seen too much of the true nature of the way they conduct business. In Verizon's case it is my opinion in the last three years particularly they have gone over the line in terms of unfair restrictions and misleading terms and pricing. This has been born out in succesful lawsuits ( http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/ny_verizon.html ) 
    ( http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=10975100 ) there are more, but you get the idea.
    Wicked One regarding Sprint and Verizon Upgrades, I am not sure about that but here is what I understand:
    First Off ETF for Sprint is $200 for Verizon it's $350
    "Verizon Wireless came under FCC scrutiny in early December after it doubled its ETF for netbooks, smartphones and some feature phones. No official action has been taken on the matter."

    http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Government-IT/Following-ATandT-Verizon-ETF-Hikes-Sen-Klobuchar-Pushes-FCC-769924/
    RE: Phone Upgrades
    As far as I know Verizon does not offer anything at one year, whereas Sprint does. The catch is what the new phone you are buying will cost you at one year into your two year contract. With Verizon my understanding is at 1 year into your 2 year contract, you pay a $20 upgrade fee and then you can get the new phone you want at a 1 year contract price. So if you were upgrading to a Droid Incredible today under these circumstances you would pay $20 + $269 ($369 - $100 rebate) or $280. With Sprint in the case of the EVO or any other plan where you pay more than $65 month you get the two year price after one year so you would be paying $200.
    I wish I could say Verizon is the best, but I have found them to be more focused on pinching money out of our pockets, via weazle marketing gimicks, like "Unlimited" plans that are NOT unlimited, or convincing you that you get more when you actually get less or get a paragraph of restrictions in the small print. Verizon has the best coverage, but that does not balance out any more with me. Most of the time, except when I am traveling in rural areas, I think the other cariers will offer similiar service. I am very close to conducting a personal 30 day test.

  • Samsung 43" Plasma 3D ( need help multiple levels.)

    Ive recently decided to begin shopping for a TV. I looked at TV's at walmart. Thats where i found the Samsung 43" I  TV
    without  3D for a little more then a hundred dollars cheaper. Then i found it on Best Buys site with 3D. So i decide thats the path im going for. They have a deal where it has 2 pair of 3D glasses included with it. If i were to do the thing where i pick it up from the store. would i still get the same deal on with the 3D glasses included? Or is that just a online thing? anyone know?  Also i know this has probably been discussed but im on my phone and the search feature isnt working right. But i pretty much decided on this TV due to 1. it has 600hz and i love the way it stays crisp watching sports. 2. its price is really affordable for a 3D tv. 3. The size is pretty much the biggest i should have for my room before its too big. If there are any other TV's people suggest looking at before buying it would be appreciated. Like i said, i apologize if this has been discussed but i couldnt search and it wasnt on the front page.

    Plasma is what the Samsung is, and I would not put any technology above the other. Each has their pros and cons. For Plasma, they are typically not as bright, but much richer in your primary and sub colors, and also high in contrast (black and white shades). Motion is usually more natural, as Plasmas rely on a different refresh rate style than LCD/LEDs (google: Subfield drives). They also typically have a faster response, which makes them again better for motion. I would have to say that because of these attributes, Plasma, to me anyway, appears to be the better technology for 3D. Might be best to stop by your local store and check out their demos for yourself.
    In regards to 720p/ 1080p- this refers to how many vertical lines of information your TV has; The more lines, the more resolute your picture. However, even a 1080p TV can only render what its source is broadcasting at. So if you're watching cable, that is only a 720p(1080i) broadcast (mostly). Your TV will polish the images, but still not be able to render them in full 1080p. Resolution itself is hard to justify a difference, but usually Bluray and other 1080p devices have other video elements that contribute to the quality of the picture--> HD Frame Rates, higher video and color bit rates, etc. So to answer your question, Bluray IS a noticeable difference, but not just because of 1080p alone.

  • Samsung SCH-U370 - In Store Pick-Up - Still Confirming Store Inventory?

    I had ordered a new Samsung SCH-U370 on September 22nd (11 days ago) as a cell phone upgrade, which, at the time, was available only online, and only via in-store pick-up. The SCH-U370 is a serious step up from my current phone (and all the other phones on Verizon.com that don't require a data plan), the price was right at $29.99, and luckily I had a Best Buy Gift Card to cover it, so I went ahead and purchased it. Shortly after completing my order, I received the order confirmation email, letting me know that my order is being processed and that Best Buy will "get my order ready as soon as possible." After a couple of days without receiving the pick-up confirmation email, I decided to search for the phone again and check if it's still available, only to find out that it's completely sold out online - practically just after I had ordered it! I've been patiently waiting for 11 days now. I sent two email inquiries to BestBuy customer service, only to receive the same useless automated response telling me to call 888-BEST-BUY if I'm looking to cancel or modify my order. I'm not looking to cancel or change my order! I just want the phone I ordered! Can anyone from Best Buy give me some kind of update on my order? If the phone is even still available? And if it's not, that's really messed up, Best Buy. When I found the phone, it was available, and so I bought it - I should get the phone I ordered, not be told that I can't get it anymore. But if that's the case, can I least get refunded on my gift card?

    Since you ordered it for in-store pickup, I would give the store you selected a call to make sure they have it in stock.

  • SAMSUNG - never again

    16 months ago I purchased from best buy a combination of a Samsung 51" plasma tv, a Samsung wireless blue ray player, and a Yamaha surround sound system. 
    In 8 months the blue ray player died.  i worked for a couple of weeks with tech support and finally was told I had to ship it to california for repair services which would take up to 3 months.  I threw the player in the trash and purchased a Sony wireless blue ray player.
    In 16 months the tv died.  I again contacted Samsung and after an hour or so was told the TV would have to be shipped to a repair facility on the west coast.  I am on the east coast.
    I checked around locally and found that Sears will repair these tvs.  I paid them to come to the house to get an estimate, which was almost the same price as a new tv.  The repair man said if it was his, he would just buy a new one.
    I used my credit card to buy this and am trying to get the double warrantee on this item but I have my doubts. 
    Both of these units were on conditioned power in a very stable and vibration free environment.
    While I did feel Best Buy was a congenial place to shop, I will never purchase Samsung anything from anyone again.  I am also not sure I will purchase from Best Buy again.  It has only been 16 months since I spent almost $2000 with them and I have nothing left but the sound system.

    I am new to these boards.  (I see that you are, too.)  I appreciate your sharing your experiences with your products, esp. the Samsung ones.  I am considering buying a new television now.  I was on this site for something else, and decided to look up TVs.  I found the link to these boards and decided to check them out.
    Samsung must definitely be a "hit or miss" experience, as Jimmienomam said.  If I can remember correctly, both the microwave and the television set that my parents have bought in the last couple of years were Samsung, and so far, they have worked without problems. 
    The DVD player that I bought several years ago still works well.  (I actually had a lemon at first, but with my service plan was able to have it replaced by BB.) 
    So, I was thinking about looking at Samsung for this purchase.  Also, when I looked up TVs, and clicked on "Top Rated," the first ones listed were Samsung.  (I didn't look to see when those top ratings were given, though.)
    But now, I see the negative feedback here.  I'm sure glad that I did.  It seems that even BB itself if questionable.  Where else am I going to get a new TV? 
    Maybe if I ask for opinions (about different brands) at the store, I will get feedback.  Or, would they just "recommend" Insignia, their "store brand"?
    Any recommendations (positive feedback for other brands) can go here, I could check back here in a while.  That would be appreciated.  I'll check the rest of the boards to see if I can find anything.  In the meantime, thanks for posting - up there, and below.
