[Texascavers] Fwd: Exploración JM Molos Q.Roo

2009-01-29 Thread Mixon Bill
Anybody interested in a caving project in Quintana Roo? This area is  
well inland from the coast, and presumably the caves are dry caves. --

Nos interesa conocer los costos estimados para realizar estudios de  
exploración en grutas con valor histórico en la ruta de las Iglesias  
del Municipio de José María Morelos Quinatan Roo, así como el  
resultado obtenido de estos estudios, ya que se pretende ver su  
potencial como atractivo turístico.


Quedo en espera de su respuesta

Re: [ot_caving] Need TV advice

I too bought a Vizio 37" TV.  Its cool except that it advertises VISIO all
the time.
I could put a piece of electrical tape over it - it goes from white to
orange when its shut off.
Mine is a 740p/1080i unit - I paid 550 for it as new, opened box from a
distributor in North Austin who liquidates returns from Walmart and Target
on Ebay.  (Luckily I had to pay no freight.  I picked it up at the warehouse
in Vico's "chick magnet" custom 1989 Toyota truck.)

Its a great unit except mine had no old-style rca outputs for audio - the
only output other than the speakers behind the plastic grillwork was a fiber
optic port - compatible with Digital Dolby 5.1 so I spent another $70 for a
modern, used Aiwa A/V receiver off eBay - now it sounds great too!

I'm in need of
4 sets of kneepads.
I'm happy to pickup and bring back the borrowed gear.

thanks,

Last year I purchased two Samsung 1080 LCD flat panels from Conn's who seem to 
have as good a pricing as the other retailers. They seem to be very good but we 
have viewed them very little. Last years Consumer Report gave Vizio a very 
favorable rating. I would believe that all of the Japanese and possibly Asian 
brands are good.

My brother recently bought one of the vizio 37" from target, he's been
really happy with it, even picked up the extended warranty on it, just
to be on the safe side, since its one of the "cheap" brands

Personally, I stick with the major brands, I love my Sony

I'm thinking about buying a new TV and have been looking at the Vizio. I don't 
want anything big or expensive, but want a good picture and decent sound. 
 
I've looked at Target, Costco and Walmart sites and see good ratings on the 
Vizio 22" and 32". Does anybody have any experience with Vizios--either 
positive or negative. Before I chunk out three or four hundred dollars I'd like 
to hear from people I know. 
 
If you haven't bought a Vizio, what have you bought recently that you either 
like a lot or thought was a real loser?
