Waitaminnit, is DOTU mocking me for having a loose screw* in one breath and then telling me the damage his loose screw caused with the next? You really are a lawyer. /me ducks After painful long minutes removing the umpteen screws from the top of the LS9, I got the panel off, and found ...a plastic fiddly bit floating around in there. Terrible picture, the Canon EF 17-40 F/4L is about the farthest thing from a macro lens. I don't think it would have shorted anything out, but I'm glad I got it out of there. Coming soon to a certain other thread: LS9 internal pix I had not intended on taking. *A fact that should be rather apparent at this point.

I am sad to say, I remember this song. Crazy cat lady dance. Supposedly there are 130 of them in this picture.

x2 on pretty much all of this. I have sent and received some huge, expensive items (DMX-512 lights) via USPS with little or no problems. I should keep a logbook for the problems I had with UPS. It used to be, 10 or so years ago, that FedEx was the more expensive, better alternative to "Brown." I'm quite sure that the "better" part no longer applies. FedEx are so incompetent that I'm going to start calling them "Fudd Ex." huhuhuhuhuh. I had good luck with DHL while they did business in this country, but that was only involving a handful of items. I did indeed, re-arranging my whole day so I could be here to sign for the package. I wasted all day yesterday and 2/3 of today. Finally, at 3:45 this afternoon this arrived: ...and inside the huge box was this: Unfortunately, it rattles like there's a loose screw or component inside of it. I'm going to let it get up to room temperature and then see about taking it apart and investigated.

Cool. Is the main advantage of the 981HD over the 980H that the former has the supposedly better video chipset? Apart from that the 980H seems like a more feature-rich unit. Have you tried the USB input on it yet? I'm also curious how Oppo players handle scratched disks.

I wonder, has Tyll ever heard the Fugs (TakeT H2s.) If so, I'm curious what he'd think. Not that he would have heard them driven properly. Not that anybody has heard them driven properly.

As of 7:34PM, no.

Waited. All. Fucking. Day. For. FedEx. To. Get. Here. With. My. Sodding. LS9.

"Don't mention the waughs." I assume that makes perfect sense if you're Australian.

I get more usage out of what was supposed to be a one-off joke.

I hope Jude backed things up recently.

The real question is did they pay Steve for that stand he made?
