K, this year I got...

1. $75 in cash and checks.
2. Weather calendar.
3. http://www.amazon.com/Alfred-Hitchcock-Legend-Begins-Classics/dp/B000UVV25Q/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1230245308&sr=8-1
4. Everglades Alligator Mouse pad.
5. Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Stocking Stuffers: 2 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat Bar, Spicy Cheetos, 2 Multigrain Granola Bars.

A couple of other family gifts, like our first toaster oven. I think that covers it. Not bad really. In a way, I prefer it when I get cash. That way I can spend it the way I please. But it also sort of lessens the enjoyment of getting stuff when you just buy it yourself and it's no surprise.

Great to hear you got a Blu-Ray DVD player: you're going to be very pleased at how Blu-Ray looks! You might want to "bookmark" this site: http://www.blu-ray.com

Be sure to check for firmware updates for your Blu-Ray player. winky
Thanks for the bookmark, Lee. I see that my Blu-Ray player has the latest software. However, how exactly do you update the software from your computer to the DVD player? Is it done via a USB cable or something?

You can install firmware updates to your Blu-Ray player two ways, Dan: by downloading the firmware file(usually a zip file), extracting the zip file contents and then "burning" the file to a blank disc, a CD-R, which you would then load into the tray of your player. Your player would display message prompts telling you how to download the disc contents.
You can also connect your Blu-Ray DVD player directly to your internet connection via the LAN port which should be on the back of the player. If you have a broadband internet connection, Dan, you should also have some kind of modem(or "gateway", also sometimes referred to as a router)-you would connect the "ethernet" cable to the LAN(or ethernet) port on the back of your Blu-Ray player. This LAN port will resemble a phone jack and should be marked "LAN"(an acronym for Local Area Connection).

I just download the firmware update from Samsumg's website, a zip file, then extract the contents(which is then usually in ISO file format) and copy(burn) the file to a CD-R. Then I insert the CD-R containing the firmware update into my Samsung Blu-Ray player and wait for the prompts.

Refer to the instruction manual on your player as well. winky

Nearly all of the firmware updates for my Blu-Ray player are for improved playback compatibility.

Dan, you should look for the home website of the manufacturer of your player, then do a search of the model number of your machine, which should lead you to the appropriate page you can bookmark and monitor for future updates.

Which you could use to invest in the DVD of the 2004 NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, as well as the DVD Invincible, about Philly bartender Vince Papale who played for the Eagles from 1976-1978. tongue-1
