CinemaQuest, Inc. – Home Page. Believe it or not, a big improvement for me at home was having the right backlight on the television. This is actually pretty important and it is cheap to get the right light. However, Cinemaquest seems like the only folks with the exact right color light bulb. Check it out.

Home Theater Reviews and Direct Sellers
Figuring out who to listen to (no pun intended) for home theater equipment isn’t easy. Here are the places I check out: * “Home Theater Spot”:http://hometheaterspot.com.

What to do next?
New Reality, Hard Choices. A great piece on what to do next. Personally, I think consolidate in the south and wait for reinforcement. I bet that this doesn’t happen though, I would bet Rumsfeld & Co. want to just drive, drive, drive. I hope not too many folks die and he is right.
