A problem can be wonderful

Okay, so my projector is on it's way to service center and my PC hard drive is crapping out on me.  I decided that I'd take the afternoon off and install a new hard drive in my PC and reistall XP and all of my miscellaneous applications.  Major ass ache to be sure.

Here's where it turns wonderful, though.  I decided to take the time to clean up my office while the hard drive is formating.  I've been telling myself to clean off my desk for years.  I couldn't believe how much crap I had that I could throw away.  I really feel like I've accomplished something.

But the best part is...  I found a picture that my son drew for me probably 5 years ago.  It's me and him together and it says "Daddy" over the cycloptic stick man that is me and "Connor" over his.  Finding that really made my day.  It reminded me how insignificant these other "problems" were in the grand scheme of things.  If it hadn't been for my dying PC, who knows how long that picture would have sat under a pile of old manuals and CDs.

I have read some reviews, they all agree it has a bad ass picture quality but here what some say; ******************************************************** I have had problems with this projector. Already on my second one and am getting ready to send it away for more work. Seems to be a reliability problem. The projector shuts off automatically after I turn it on..forcing me to wait 5 minutes to turn it back on. Also, and much worse, the projected image is starting to go blank every 5 minutes and the imput options appear..very annoying and you may miss key parts of whatewver you are watching. ******************************************************** I bought this model last September and have already had to send it in twice to get fixed. In fact, it's on its way to the repair center as I am typing this review. This is not an isolated incident either, MANY PT-AX100 owners have been experiencing problems just like mine and it's clear that Panasonic didn't spend enough time/money on quality control. ********************************************************

@rabb -- I'm sure you know all too well with your girls that once they get on a roll, kids will just bury you with drawings and other "art". I remember when he gave that to me and I was probably working at my desk and just tossed it onto my "to do" pile. Who would have known that all these years later I would stumble on it when I really needed something to cheer me up.

Those are the best things in the world. I got into some boxes while cleaning up around the house and spent an hour going through some of my boys drawings. Good stuff!
