For me a keyboard is a keyboard, is there any significant difference between the ones that cost $20 and $120? I'll probably just nab one off of NewEgg. I do some moderate gaming, but I rarely program a bunch of hot-keys. Any recs would be appreciated..

they would get it all-digital by now! So the question is: can an analog signal that is converted to digital at the house give as good an HD image as an all-digital connection? Or am I wasting money on an HD cable service that turns analog on the way to my house? thanks, Veech

I had also considered Direct TV since they can provide local channels in HD as well, as opposed to Dish who can't. I'm in LA so hopefully I'm in one of those top 20 markets. As for NFL, I watch one game a year (Super Bowl) and it's for the commercials. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
