Lucky they only just released drivers to support that PJ..

I know. But it's only for models produced on or after August 2010 (firmware update), and apparently a dude sent it in to optoma, got it back a week later updated, but it still wasn't recognized.
I'll just be using the modified inf file from the acer H5360.

2 tickets for dinner for schmucks, and some fast food from new york fries while we were out, because we could not find any better place, and actually, it was the best hotdog i have ever eaten.

From Domino's:
2 orders of Cheesy bread w/Marinara
Large Philly Cheesesteak pizza
Large Extravaganza pizza
2 liter Sprite
2 liter Diet Coke

We were setting up/decorating for my daughter's baby shower that is happening tomorrow. that fed five of us and the cost was split between us all (my mom, my mother-in-law, my daughter's future mother-in-law, my wife, and me).

Here's a pic of the diaper cake they made for the shower:

Whoa whoa, why the BB5 hate? Avid makes some of the best brakes out there. How long have you had the bike?

How you liking 29" wheels? I know some people who love them. I wasn't too sure if it was "my" thing when I was bike shopping but I can definitely see they have a place in the biking world, and very deserving of it imo.

I hate the BB5's because they don't stop me worth crap. They are a cheap disc brake. I want to upgrade to BB7's because I've heard nothing but good things about them.

I love the 29" wheels. Rolls over everything so much nicer. Definitely made the ride a lot smoother than my 26".

I found the rockhopper to not be the best bike by specialized. I Trashed the demo I rode. I guess they were made for more casual riding but STOCK they can't take a drop and the frames seemed week to me.

Congratulations. Considering that the Rockhopper is designed for XC and not bombing downhill or taking drops I think it's fine. If the frame does break, Specialized has a lifetime warranty and will replace it.

Don't bikes like these cost many thousands ? I do really like them though. If I was fit enough and had the money I would definitely get a good bike and upgrade it!

My Gary Fisher Advance, (the orange one) was $350 back in 2005. It's super entry level and is designed to do XC/singletrack. My Specialized Rockhopper, (the black one) was $850, is an entry level 29er. It's also designed for XC/singletrack. Though I'm planning on getting a longer travel fork, and when I move to Arizona, trying out some AM trails.

That will be my granddaughter's name, Serenity Claire.

Named after the movie/character?

Her father is a huge Firefly fan, so I figure that is came from the series/movie.
