Mine was one of the ones that actually fried!

It was a great smelly smoke show that it did.

It was weird, they were not very co-coperative
about warranting or replacing the adapter
when I first spoke with them.  After that they
were all over me trying to get it replaced etc.
and making sure I was happy.

I wonder how many titaniums are going to
spontaneously combust?

Although Mr. Spielberg was reluctant to assess the impact that his generation
of filmmakers has had, he has very definite ideas of where movies have come
since the 70's ? and what have been the most important technical and creative
innovations that have changed them.

"To me, it's sound," Mr. Spielberg said. "To me, the biggest breakthrough in
the last 50 years, certainly since Cinerama in the 50's, is the sound. When I
think of the sonic experience of the first time I heard Dolby stereo
demonstrated at the American Film Institute years and years ago, it was then
that I realized that we are making sound pictures.
We could do a lot with sound, we could even tell a story with sound. And when
we brought the best of sound together with the best of visuals in the 80's and
90's, you were able to show audiences so much more of the movie than they
otherwise would have experienced."
