Hi Nancy!

 BM>> I've been toying with the idea of using a monitor and probably sound
 BM>> bar to replace the next TV - - would have to check if less expensive
 BM>> and how to control the sound remotely.  Watching live TV can be done
 BM>> through MythTV.
 NB>> Something to explore... it could be less expensive, or it might
 NB>> end up more so, depending on the components.... :)
 BM> If the price is essentially the same wouldn't matter if slightly more
 BM> expensive -- how much more at this point isn't defined as I don't have
 BM> any prices to begin with .  One of the more main yes-or-no's would be
 BM> the sound level (volume) control.  Don't really want another remote
 BM> control, so control via the existing remote or a universal remote, and
 BM> even while that is one unit prefer not to have to tap a selector
 BM> switch (the TV - Cable Box - DVD - etc. one).  ...OTOH my consideration
 BM> if for using a monitor and they don't generally come with remotes.
 BM> ...May have just resolved that little problem!
 NB> Sounds like still a lot of factors to sort through...  ;)

Yes.  Another project for later.  What's strange is one or two coputers
around here I can control the sound level to the monitor/TV with the
keyboard, which would solve the problem.  Most I can't, so that is the
problem.  From the "Took a Quick Look Department" isn't the motherboard 
brand not a configuration I did of the OS.  



 NB>> ... Coughing and sneezing? Maybe tiny fanged snails are eating
 NB>> your brain.
 BM> They're spitting out the bad parts?!
 NB> Dunno... probably just leaving them to fester.... and your body
 NB> is trying to rid itself of them.... ;)

The horrors of looking through pathology texts!
