I ran across the title in a post on the AVSforum while looking up antenna info, and I thought it was cute. I guess they were tomato farmers. Few things feel like stepping on an over-ripe tomato in the garden with bare feet and I’m sure a few were thrown at the screen for my acting [...]

Plus the fact that it is H.A.D.N.M! Maybe my bud’s comment to make it Help A Digital Newbie Year is a [...]
HADNM: Getting more help
