I have to agree with Slugbait on this one. Having a degree, any degree, even if you never plan on using it, will help you all around. Many employers don't really care that your field of study doesn't match with the position for which you are applying. They only care that you have a higher education....

Nice.... That switch on the bottom looks a lot like a Cat 3550 48 SMI which I spent 2 years working on in test and design. It's nice to see it escape from wiring closets every so often.

The last agreement I heard between TV manufacturers, cable companies, and the FCC was that the new standard for digital television would HAVE to support existing HDTV's including those with/without built-in HD tuners.

One thing you might consider with the receiver is video I/O. My current TV has 5 video inputs as follows: Video 1: DVI, Component Video 2: Component Video 3: S-video, composite Video 4: S-video, composite Video 5: S-video, composite You cannot use 2 types of video at the same time. For example I can...
