Do you enjoy your role as a spoiler?

Geez, what an idiot.

Part of the joy of watching a series is the element of surprise and the viewer's emotions/reaction that follows.

Thanks for nothing,...

You may be right. The word 'standard' may be getting tossed around here a bit too loosely. It was Yamaha that referred to Disney changing the 'standard'. I did not follow up with the...

d_man_n_d_mand, you may be right.

Thanks again.

I'm sorry for all your trouble, but the Toshiba rep does make a valid point. The cost of the upgrade (some $49) is annoying but the service center is devoting time to do this and it...

Yes, Yamaha told me something similar. They said that this was last upgrade they would do for the C900 series DVD players as the C996 series is taking its place.

So, I may be looking...

Pasolini,

What is absurd is that you don't read my postings about firmware upgrades correctly. If it wasn't a firmware upgrade that was necessary for my player (Yamaha C900), why did it correct...

Tim,

My own habit is to wait for Sunday's Best Buy ad sheet (in the Los Angeles Times) to check on the price. If it's low enough, I buy it there, and if not, I go to one of my chosen web...
