Lucid Points

For over 20 years, I was a Sony nut. Luckily, I did not invest in the Betamax fiasco, but my first new television was a Sony, and I have probably purchased a half-dozen or more over the years. All the stereo equipment, Walkmans, radios, headphones, tape recorders, cameras, whatever. If Sony made it I bought [...]

Am I the only one? The lip sync on NBC affiliate KNWA’s broadcast is off. Sometimes, its to the point of severe annoyance; mostly it is off just enough for you to start wondering what is wrong with the channel you are viewing. KNWA, this is not just a small “glitch” that is minor. Its [...]

Oh, I almost forgot, I also had another problem with my Dell Inspiron 640m after formatting the drive and installing Windows XP. It would not go into Standby mode using the keyboard, and after entering standby from closing the lid, it would not resume. I went to the Dell website to get all of the [...]
