I also use B&W speakers, and they're really good, as long as you use decent wire and interconnects for them, (decent doesn't mean 700 dollars a metre though!) I use 4 core well insulated wire, and am very impressed by the results.
I am running with a Sony DB-830 amp (100W/channel) this decodes Dolby Digital and dts. The models have been updated since I got mine, but are functionally the same, and I have B&W speakers all around, 602's at the front, 601's for the rears and a CC6 in the centre. The sound is *really* good, brings films like the Matrix to life. All in all it cost me about 1000 UKP, but components should be cheaper in the US. Plus the speakers have yellow kevlar cones, and are very sexy:)
The people who will lose out here are people like me, who live in Europe and buy your titles from the US.
I do it not to get the titles sooner, or because they are cheaper, but because alot of the titles are not avaliable over here in region 2. All time warner are doing is stopping people buying films.
IIRC minidisks have a capacity of about 120Mb, which is about the same as an LS-120 or ZIP disk. I have tried to do a little research, and apparantly SONY did release a MD Data drive, but it used different types of disks and were slow. pity cos i can pick-up an MD for about 1 UKP, much less than an LS-120 disk or ZIP:(
I first used OS/2 3.0 and apart from it taking out 400Mb of data (that was a lot back then) i liked it. It was certainly better than windows 3.1, but unfortunatly it was let down by poor hardware support. Oneday when I get a spare machine I'll stick it back on for nostalgia:)
I started using PKZIP at version 1.1, it was one of the most downloaded applications on my BBS. I still use PKZIP 2.04g command line today, who needs fancy GUI's?
The next time you want to post to/. why don't you write it down on a piece of paper and then go and lock it up, so that no one can ever possibly get at it to violate your copyright. Grow up people, this book has been produced to try and help some of the most vulnerable members of society. If you didn't want anyone to read your comments, why the f&*k did you post them?
