You'll change your mind real fast. I've yet to use a smart blu-ray player that had a pleasant interface. Very slow and clunky. I haven't used mine for a long time. Roku is much better.

I've been reading reviews & have pretty much come to the same conclusion based on all the net connectivity problems people seem to be having - even with major brand names. I'm thinking now that I'll just look for a dumb machine, it works out better anyway since I don't want to spend very much.

Just had a huge Red Tailed hawk glide to the tree in my yard. He had something in his talons, I thought it was a Junco or Tufted Titmouse at first but then realized it was a mouse. Watched him gulp it down, he hung out for a bit then glided back off. They are just so gorgeous and nature is so cool.

We haven't had any Red Tailed hawks although they are all over town. We had a pair of Kestrels when the swing set was up, and I've had Cooper's hawks sitting on the feeder.

I had a Cooper's chasing a Chickadee on foot! He couldn't fly into the bush to get the Chickadee, so it looked like he was trying another method. They are NOT geared for walking.

That must have been a sight! I have Cooper's and Sharp-shinned that regularly 'visit' the feeders as well. Someone, I'm guessing a Sharpie, got a Tufted Titmouse last week. I can tell because the carnage is still on the porch roof. No miss there. I do feel bad for the little birds but certainly understand that I'm feeding ALL the birds.

I have a bag I carry my laptop all over hell and creation with, and I have a few stashed in there. I also have one clipped in the inside pocket of my leather jacket.

... and of course a fancy pen and pencil in my work shirt... a spare pen or two in my toolbox... maybe one in that other toolbox...

I could mail you a couple. :rolleyes:
