Terrible thread. Why is this considered a good troll? A good troll should at least be believable.

This thread predates the original Iphone. Its hard to believe now with the super intelligent posters we have today, but 6 years ago this wasn't too far off from some on the posts on this board. Still funny today.

Not a good troll, but funny.

It is a legendary troll. He hooked two posters who gave serious replys with the first two responses.

Then he kept serious discussion going on for pages.

I remember this thread.

I just realized something: you can star your own posts if they were made before the new site launched.

Starred the op, this is truly one of TA's greatest threads.

it just falls out of the rotation from time to time.

Thought for sure it was dead this time though.

I'm 100% positive it was at one time removed from the public server. A couple years back I had linked to it from the GB and it got a flood of bumps. Shortly after it was deleted and I was blamed for killing an iconic thread.

Someone at TA had to bring it back from death.

I've seen more references to this thread than posts on the thread I actually read. I thought the original question was stupid and didn't read responses (until now). At what page does the troll get to the punchline? I never heard what that was.

I can't believe this thread is 10 years old and miss SpicewoodAg too. I didn't know him very long but he got me to ditch my home theater receiver for separates and I've never looked back. I still refer to his emails about separates and prepros. They're still relevant today. Great man

What I find impressive about this thread is that the URLs for the pics posted 11 years ago are still mostly valid.

For proper fidelity, I like to convert that sort of things directly into the format I like to call "someone reading me a transcript of the video"...

You wouldn't believe how good it looks and sounds.

No. I want a 21st century alarm clock... and only I know what that means.

Yeah. That's actually easy. Play it on the tv, and set your camcorder on a tripod about 3 feet away and hit record.

Can I borrow your laser disc player?

I was in an antiques shop last week that had a nice collection of laser discs and I haven't seen one IRL since about 1984.

thank you tfunk, finally someone gets it. imagine not only that high-end laserdisc player for sale, but the machine plus an extensive library of laserdiscs. all three back to the futures, when harry met sally, groundhog day, lord of the rings 2, and baby geniuses to name a few. i'll be laughing all the way to the bank while people clamor to bid.

Oh man... I love how he threw in Baby Geniuses at the end. I forgot the laughs I got out of this.
