Hi Guys

As some of you might know from my posts, that my unit pretty much sucks when it comes to TV's and such.

Do any of you have links to where you can order those mini tv/radio's that you guys use in your unit. is it on a table with wheels?

My Kidney Doctor is actually part owner of my unit and i would like to show him where to order these TV's.

please this matter of sanity!!! ;D

four hours without entertainment is not fun.

Get a portable DVD player and get the 3x netflix package.  Your movies will come in the mail and you can see what you want.

The portable DVD players can be purchased at Costco and here is the movies  www.netflix.com

Draven lives in South Africa.  Netflix and Costco doesn't work for him.

Let them get the TV and you get the other things you want.  I wouldn't guess they'd cost much other than the arms that the sit on.

I would recomend the portable DVD player.  You can rent videos from the library here.  Do they have that service in South Africa?  It has saved my sanity.

Well, depending upon what you want to spend.  I think I'll splurge and get a laptop because I can use it for multiple purposes.  Going to check with the technical guy at the center tomorrow.  Micro Center is having a huge sale.  But I guess you don't have a micro center in Cape Town.....or do you?
