Kev, The Babychams are on me anytime! Yep, had a quick look at the opening of The Elephant Man that I purchased from Ricky Daniels' "for sale" list, and it really is in Cinemascope and it really does look terrific. Sir John Hurt, Dame Anthony Hopkins and that Lynch chappie creating a knockout filum! (Another of my faves.) As you know I weaned myself into this game with an ST1200. It was described by members of the forum as the "Elmo workhorse" and it fulfilled the purpose of teaching me how to be a little less cack-handed and a little more involved in the cinematic experience. However, it was always going to be a stepping stone to a machine that could enable me to, (a)sync up pre-recorded sound with film that I'd shot (assuming that I buy the correct products from Pedro) and (b) sit in my and my missus's (?) house to watch a classic whilst feeling that we're really, really, really at the Saturday morning pictures. The Xenon does exactly that. When Jenny Agutter said "Daddy, my Daddy...." at the end of The Railway Children and I turned to see the tears flowing down my girlfriend's cheeks, I knew that I had her in the palm of my hand. Who am I kidding, I was in floods - she was asking how to turn off the projector!! Definitely meet up early in the new year. Sam
