No, Americans cannot seem to grasp that the earth does not contain onlyh America. They have to use PCS instead of GSM, "imperial" units instead of SI units, T1's instead of E1's, and so forth. 8_) /me hides from the angry mob :P (Wes: this is where you reply with a funny rebuttal :) To the point, with DVD's, you really cannot see or hear the difference unless you are a natural born/trained artist/musician. Most likely, the picture quality is limited by the television, and the audio quality limited by the receivers and speakers. The DVD player is not the bottleneck there. :) -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
