The quality of the playback is up to par with players 5 times the price, I have no complaints there...excellent picture. Yes, it does have some problems with certain DVD's, but for the price, and what you get, you can't beat it IMO. Personally I've only had problems with DVDs using the seamless branching feature..which a firmware upgrade will fix...
Anyways, I've been trying to get into lots of IPO's with E*TRADE for while, and never gotten any allocations. If you ask me, I think it a "scam" to attract customers. They changed the allocation rules lately, depending on your previous holding time of IPO shares (you get out quick, you most likely won't ever get in on any offering again). Well that's like getting credit, u need a history of it..but that first time you're screwed.
I've yet to hear of any person that I know, being successful getting shares.
imo E*TRADE stinks...not to mention half the times you can't log in (due to market activity being too high? or maybe they run their web servers on NT IIS servers... *fear*;)
I recently purchashed the Vodoo 3 3000 from 3DFX. It's worth every damn penny....AWESOME. Linux drivers are available, however I'm not sure the 3D support is just done yet, but I may be wrong. GET IT! That sucker screams....
