If the guy coming over doesnt buy it...let me know and perhaps we can
work out some kind of deal.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

OK, will do. He cleared 4" of snow off the hood of his truck this
morning and did a tuneup on it, then called me at 11:15 to say that
he'd be coming right down (2-2.5 hours on a good day from Crescent,
OR.)
I think he has a mind to buy it, don't you? We'll see, though.
I expected him to arrive before 11, and it's only drizzling here.

Time for a fresh cuppa joe and a Netflix movie on my computer. Ta!

OK, the deed is done. I got him to cough up a whopping $220 for the
aged beastie. He smeared some wheel bearing grease onto the outer
bearings (only!) and drove off happy.

Congrats. When those ugly shits are gone, I personally experience
great relief.

Good luck!
Email me if he doesnt buy.

Sigh...good for you!

There's one in Sacto right now. Craigslist is your friend.

Is that a downloaded movie or DVD? If downloaded, how's the
resolution/definition? Hoe many MB?
Curious,

I've been archiving all my movies, starting with the oldest VHS
tapes and now working through my DVDs.
For DVD quality (like with MPEG4) figure on about 2 gig per hour.
A 500 gig external drive will store 200 to 250 movies.
I prefer to use Nero Showtime to display them.
The Netflix instant movie option *requires* Microsoft Silver Light
media player. I thought that was a really dumb move on their part,
so there must have been money or politics involved.
The initial gouge on Silver Light is (besides bloated) that it
phones home periodically (aka Spyware).
The image quality, in part, depends on your internet connection.
But will probably look better than VHS at worst (DLS) or DVD
quality (FIOS).
Sometimes syncing image and voice is a problem.
But that's a production or server issue.

Live streaming. Beaucoup effin' MBs, brother.
The vast majority have a very good resolution, but a few are
compressed way too far. I'm very happy overall.
Then again, I don't watch TV and have never even watched more than a
minute's worth of HDTV (Circuit City twice), so my opinion might be
found wanting.

I'm keeping all my video on a $89 1.5T external SAT drive. It's on the
network so I can watch anything anywhere. I like "Classic Media Player" and
it's free. I figure 3 or 4 of these drives will store everything I could
EVER want to watch.
cavelamb
We are probably about even - except for size (hehehe!)
I have three Western Digital 500 gig MyBook drives.
I paid about the same as yours (for each of them) but years back
before a T was even offered. The third one is approaching 1/2 full now.
Classic Media Player is ok. I just like ShowTime mo betta.
So (with apologies for hijacking the thread) How did you rig up
your external drive?

Thanks! I emailed the guy.
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/tls/1359243487.html is another
one...that is NOT going to sell any time soon.
LOL...folks selling are desperate..folks with enough money to spend are
being damned picky on what they will buy.

I only have 3 gas welders! Ranger 9, Miller 55G (being rebuilt at the
moment) and some ancient critter that came off a Liberty Ship in WW2
that I need to go pick up someday.
Thats no where near enough!

The Rosewill enclosure came with a SATA external bracket or it will connect
via a USB. I have it and a smaller external drive hung off a computer that
runs the LCD TV in the family room. It also has a tuner running Sage. I'll
give the Nero ShowTime a try, thanks!

So, is he hauling it down for you to look at/trade for?
