OT, on my plasma wonderment: thanks to all for your replies. I think our 5k elevation is not a real issue, though the high volume ambient light may
be a consideration. With only 3 weeks left here at the Mtn house for the season, I suspect we will postpone the HD buy until next spring when we
return, as we also have to upgrade to HD sat, (either keeping DISH or going to Direct), and the different view angle of an HD sat dish also requires
some tree trimming on the neighbor's property. Everything is complicated and interconnected. I BM'd the links; appreciate the opins.
