Yep they do. They call them computers. *GRIN

There is a stucco that does go on drywall. When I was a kid, my folks did

The computer idea sounds pretty good. I do see a couple disadvantages
though.
First, how would I be able to use a remote control to play stuff?
Second, we have the CD changer plugged into our receiver and so it turns off
when the receiver turns off. This is nice because the receiver has a sl

Well there are several possibilities for you. Firstly, you could use an
RF wireless keyboard and wireless headphones so you could interact with
your computer from anywhere in the house.
since you probably only use your receivers remote in the same room as your
receiver, it wouldn't be
Personally I use a wireless keyboard right here. Secondly how about a delayed

I don't understand why one would want to listen to mp3 files on the home
stereo. With the compression from the audio format to mp3 format quality of
fidelity is also lost.
For the amount of money that I have invested in my receiver and speaker I would
not want to lose sound quality. For rock I p
Lenny,
MP3 is only one format, and a crappy one at that. You can rip to other
formats that have significantly better fidelity. Most of the better
formats fall into the lossless category as Spiro mentioned.

That brings me to wondering:
We have belt sanders, and if it is true morter mix stucko that won't work.
But is there something tougher, like a grinder for the router, that someone
could use on material like this?

I'm going to bring it out at the crawl space access hole but even that is

So, a little research on the topic of remote controls and digital music on
your home stereo found some interesting stuff. One cool item is from
www.salling.com Basically it is a program that runs on your smart cell
phone or hand held and provides a blue-tooth remote link to your computer.

Max,
We have a place near by that stocks about 900 different beers and will
order anything they don't stock. So, any cold beer you want can be had.
I also stock a couple of single malt scotches, still have some Jack
Daniels Reserve (thanks to Cliff), and Teresa makes a mean lemonade.

Max,
It is a cold chisel and you will curse the day you decided to use one to
punch a hole in your foundation wall. I did it an have the lack of
knuckles to prove it.
You can always just rent a hammer drill from Home Depot. It will probably
cost you about 30 bucks. It will make a much small
I did not realize that MP3 was lower quality sound.
I was thinking about MP3 rather than another large CD changer because it has
fewer moving parts and so wouldn't wear out so soon (five years). Also, you
could move the MP3 player without unloading CDs.

Dan to add to what you said about the windows media remote. They do make a
remote just for windows media. It can control everything on the computer that
you put into its folders. bob

A MP3 tune at 7x compression of about 192 kbs is equal to CD quality music. In
media play, 224 kbs is about the same rate. Music on current computers using
media player use compression rates starting at 4x. There really isn't much
difference between 4x and full wave, not that I'll ever be abl

You are probably talking about a cold chisel, c o l d. If you get the brick

Does anyone know of a rotary hoe that has a clutch? .

A blue tooth keyboard most likely won't get the distance you are looking
for. You will have to dig up one of the RF keyboards, I think Logitec
makes one now. OK blue tooth is RF but I think it's power spec is too low
for any distance above about 30 feet. Of course, your milage may vary.

one being motorized. Please explain this device. Thank You.
