    Manning, Favre, Brady and Romo ?

    All I have to say, is it certainly isn't Kurt Warner...the image of his wife at the Superbowl a few years back is burnt into my mind.

    Computer Monitor Recommendations

    Dell is always giving away monitors with systems. You could buy the system, keep the monitor and sell the system to offset the price of the monitor. Just an idea.

    Newbie here, and moving to Mexico....

    I knew someone who moved down there and had Direct TV. He got the info on where to point his dish in Mexico somehow. Then, he kept his address up here and kept the US programming. This all would depend on you getting the satellite locations and having a home still in the US.

    Nintendo DS Lite a good system?

    I agree with the Nintendogs. My young kids love it. After we got the kids their DS Lites, my wife and I found ourselves playing after they went to bed. We like Big Brain Academy, but that may be much for a 5 year old. Actually, for adults, any game that has a bunch of mini games is fun to play.

    Computer Monitor Recommendations

    I have the 24" Dell and love it. I used it with my PC and now use it with my PowerMac. Not as good looking as the Apple screens, but why pay a ton more for just looks. If you monitor the Dell site, you can find a really great deal.
