All going well I'll be watching Superb owl on my Sharp LC-37G2X as I did last year when the NY Giants floored the NE Patriots.
 Note: This is a 2006 vintage TV & it's well & truly past it's use by date by today's standards as these sets have a somewhat shorter life span then many of the vacuum tube classics that are still around & still in service & it's highly doubtful that there will be any working examples in 15 to 20 years time because of the nature of the technology with built in mortality.

Love that big 'ol tower on the right....with the 5.1/4 floppy. Even with all the machines I have around, I don't think I have one I could read any of the hundreds of those old floppies I have around in those flip-top disk bins. I do have a couple of the drives themselves though.

I am a huge San Francisco 49ers fan, so this year's Owl will be Superb indeed!
With the 49ers in the game for the first time in 18 years, this is BIG. I started planning my TV strategy for the game as soon as the NFC Championship game was over, on January 20. My first decision was to watch the game "live" as opposed to somewhat time-delayed on my DVR (Windows 7 Media Center). That means no pausing the game to get snacks or attend the grill in the back yard. So, I will need to have TV sets visible from every place anyone will be around here during the game. NFL football is completely high-tech, so my equipment will match. The main system (same as last year) is an Epson 1080P LCD projector driving a 92-inch screen, with an Onkyo 5.1-channel Dolby Digital receiver and various speakers. Other TV sets (or monitors with HD tuners) include Samsung 46-inch and 32-inch 1080P sets, 42-inch and 32-inch monitors that I rescued from the recyclers and fixed, a 15-inch brand-X HDTV from Fry's Electronics, and maybe my 24-inch computer monitor. I haven't yet decided where each set will go; that is part of this weekend's work.
