Quite why Keith thinks it's anything to do with "climbing aboard" is

I would have thought he meant that people thinking they would like to
move to Bluray have the double expense of buying not only a player but a
TV or display as well. I think he's is suggesting that people could do
this in two stages by using a convertor to their old TV. It seems
perfectly reasonable to me to describe joining the BD users as 'climbing
on board'.


A decent convertor won't be cheap. And I doubt many would see any
improvment with Blueray on a standard TV display while using one. It might
indeed introduce unwanted artifacts.

What troubles me is that what I've just written is very obvious indeed,
so why did you guys sound puzzled. Either I've missed something which is
well possible or you lot are being deliberately anti Keith. Which would
be very disappointing. I hate these personal wars on this newsgroup.
can't we disagree with someone without falling out and calling each
other names like children.


The day Kitty stops being rude to others is the day he might reasonably
expect the same treatment.
