The modern class of C and C++ tools are workhorses of PC applications development. And Objective-C tools have proven the rapid application development means of choice for native mobile development for iOS and Mac OS X.
So wouldn't it be nice to let the developers with the skills and proficiency in building native applications for the prominent enterprise computing clients of yesteryear (like Windows) gain ease in bringing better apps to all the mobile and fat client types demanded for the foreseeable future?
Embarcadero Technologies thought so, and long enough ago that they began re-architecting their compiler and C++ Builder development architecture in time to now provide write-once, run-natively-anywhere-that-counts benefits. [Disclosure: Embarcadero Technologies is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
And now is when it really counts, with the advent of Windows 8, growing Mac OS X use and exploding sales of iOS and Android clients.
And now is when it really counts, with the advent of Windows 8, growing Mac OS X use and exploding sales of iOS and Android clients.
Embarcadero on Monday made generally available C++Builder XE3, which allows a common development effort to natively target -- using a new 64-bit compiler -- Windows 8, Mac OS X and Intel (not yet ARM) clients. And coming this summer, the same compiler outputs to run those same apps natively on iOS and Android mobile clients. ARM support comes at end of 2013.
What's more, more of the Embarcadero stable of tools and IDEs will leverage the architecture. So more tools to build more apps once that run on more devices natively. The compiler architecture is extensible to make more tools that make more code more extensible to more platforms. Almost rhymes.
Vision to close chasms
The vision to bridge the long-standing chasm between mobile and full client environments -- never mind the Windows-Mac chasm -- came as Embarcadero acquired the CodeGear technology set from Borland back in 2008. Embarcadero said it immediately set out to build C++Builder XE3 then, to allow one code effort for many more targets.
"The old way of supporting multiple platforms was not practical," said Michael Swindell, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Embarcadero in San Francisco. That old way included highly redundant and costly development to target different platforms. The old way forced ISVs and enterprises to make guesses about which clients to target, despite an extremely dynamic market and fast-changing users preferences.
"We needed to re-organize for a multi-client world," said Swindell. He said that ISVs and developers can hedge their bets by using C++Builder XE3 now, with the knowledge the same code will be able to quickly tuned and deployed in Q3 of this year on iOS and Android.
And there are some additional synergies that should appeal to the commercial ISVs.
The common mantra behind Delphi and C++ Builder, as well as any RAD IDE, of course, is to make less code to more work fast. C++Builder XE3 takes that a big step further by applying Embarcadero's agile benefits to a common architecture supporting the major IDEs to deliver cross-client platform development on all the major targets. Full Delphi support on the new C++Builder XE3 underlying architecture comes this spring, with all the Delphi database connectivity and web services support built in.
And there are some additional synergies that should appeal to the commercial ISVs. The C++Builder XE3 architecture is already "app store ready," enabling ease in bringing the apps to Apple and Google app stores. But for enterprises, Embarcadero is also developing synergies between its AppWave capabilities and C++Builder XE3 so that enterprises too can gain a streamlined means to deploy the apps for PCs, Macs and iOS and Android uses from an AppWave app store. Expect that in the fall, said Swindell.
So the net-net on this from my perspective is that Embarcadero has primed the pump for accelerated enterprise mobile development for 2013. And, it's given developers with C and C++ skills the means to build and deploy via app stores mobile apps on-demand, via subscription models, even inside enterprises. It also means that apps can be designed with common logic and requirements and then delivered on multiple devices, so workforces can use those apps anywhere, anytime. Very powerful.
Best of mobile to enterprise
In essence, this brings what we have come to like about consumer and entrainment and web apps -- but to the workplace on all relevant platforms natively -- in a way that's not too complicated, costly or time-consuming.
I'm not seeing that in any comprehensive way from Microsoft, Apple or Google, nor from any PaaS development offerings in the market.
I would expect that PaaS-hungry providers may look to OEM or otherwise license the C++Builder XE3 technology to bring to a cloud deployment model.
And so I would expect that PaaS-hungry providers may look to OEM or otherwise license the C++Builder XE3 technology to bring to a cloud deployment model, and to better cross the PC-Mac divide, and to consolidate new apps development for all uses.
The C and C++ IDE tools and C++Builder XE3 technology, incidentally, need not only run on-premises. Embarcadero is exploring the means to make it all cloud-based, and to make tool clients using HTML5. A hybrid future for such multi-device development can't be too far off.

Welcome to Anza Electric Cooperative
Scam Alert!
The scammers are back! Anza Electric Cooperative, Inc. is warning its members about a nationwide scam involving bogus delinquent accounts and prepaid money cards.
It works like this. Callers contact cooperative members and tell them their account is delinquent and recommend that they purchase prepaid money cards (like those available at convenience stores). The scammers then give the members a ten digit phone number that they can call and volunteer the prepaid card's number. Or the caller tells the member that their Edison account is about to be disconnected. Fortunately, one smart local businesswoman recognized right away that it was a scam as soon as the caller mentioned Edison. She knew Anza Electric was her provider.Read more...

Our Mission
Beautiful. Sustainable. Handcrafted in California. This isn't just our tag line. It's our mission. We strive to provide the most beautiful products while making sure we do right by our home. This means supporting the community by hiring local artisans who create sustainable products that keep our environment healthy.
About Us
It's been 21 years since husband and wife, Lawrence and Christa, founded Metro Lighting. In that time, our showroom has expanded from a small garage workshop to an 8000 square foot facility, with more than 35,000 fixtures sold. Metro Lighting takes inspiration for our name from the work of early Modernist architect Hector Guimard, designer of the famous Paris Metro subway stations. Drawing from this, as well as backgrounds in architecture, Lawrence, Christa, and the Metro team have delivered beautiful, eco-friendly, artisan lighting to over 12,000 customers and businesses since 1993. Metro Lighting was recently awarded the Climate Leader Award by CoolCalifornia.
Metro Lighting has always striven to brighten the lives of our customers. We produce our lighting in-house and work with a vast network of American suppliers to support our community along with yours.
Metro Lighting was honored to receive a California Climate Leader award on February 12, 2015!
Sometimes independent micro-businesses lead their industries toward new goals. Ever ahead of the curve, Metro Lighting has won numerous awards for their sustainability efforts, this time a statewide recognition from CoolCalifornia.org a project of the California Air Resources Board. Metro Lighting was one of sixteen small businesses honored in a ceremony on February 12 at the California EPA in Sacramento.
Metro Lighting owners– Lawrence Grown and Christa Rybczynski– with their daughter Eliza accepted their award in Sacramento.
Lighting showrooms inevitably use a large amount of energy, but at Metro Lighting, 100% of their electrical usage is offset by 120 rooftop solar panels. And their singular commitment to sustainability shines through their beautiful lighting: at Metro you'll find gorgeous pendants made with bottles harvested from Berkeley bars and restaurants, unique chandeliers that incorporate bicycle parts, and stunning glass shades recast from crushed bottles and jars.

Andrew Garfield for manga comic movie Akira?
Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and Mary-Louise Parker star in the 2010 action-comedy that is "Red". After he's threatened by a high-tech assassin, former black-ops agent Frank Moses (Willis) reassembles his old crew to go after their longtime assailants. The movie's title (RED) stands for "Retired Extremely Dangerous".
Andrew Garfield has been approached to take on one of the lead roles in the re-imagining of 'Akira'.
The live action adaptation of the iconic magna comic is set to start shooting in August following a script rewrite by Steve Kloves and bosses have now sent the latest version to a short list of actors from which they hope to pick the two main roles.
The original story - focusing on teen biker gang member Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo - was set in post-nuclear war Tokyo in 2019 while the new movie is expected to take place in New York.
Andrew, Robert Pattinson and James McAvoy have all been approached for the role of Tetsuo - who is saved from a medical experiment by his friend - while Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix are being considered for the role of Kaneda, according to Deadline.com
While screenwriter Kloves wrote the latest draft of the script, Albert Torres, Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby and Gary Whitta have all previously worked on the project.
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company is working on the $300 million project for Warner Brothers with Allen and Albert Hughes directing.
The intention is to make two films, each covering three books in the six-part series. 'Akira' was first adapted for the screen in 1988.

Choosing the right plants and herbs for your pollinator garden
By Susan Jongeneel
Media/Communications Specialist, University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
URBANA, Ill. — Bumblebees, honey bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds and some other birds are essential for plant pollination, which must take place for fruit to form. University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Kelly Allsup encourages gardeners to choose plants and herbs for next spring's garden that will attract these pollinators.
Pollinator gardens typically contain native perennials such as the aromatic anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum), drought-tolerant coreopsis (Coreopsis grandiflora), spring-blooming wild indigo (Baptisia australis) and the white-flowering foxglove penstemon (Penstemon digitalis). Native insects have evolved with native plants and prefer them to non-native ornamental plants.
Pollinator gardens also incorporate flowering herbs such as lavender, marjoram, oregano, thyme, chives, fennel and parsley. Their aroma and consistent flowering make them attractive to pollinators, and are sources of nectar and pollen for beneficial insects and wasps.
"Provide pollen and nectar sources all throughout the growing season by planting perennials, herbs and ornamentals that flower at different times," said Allsup.
Plant flowers of different colors and contrasting shapes in the pollinator garden. Butterflies are attracted to orange, red and yellow and need a landing platform. Bees are attracted to blue, yellow and white and can see ultraviolet markings, the nectar guides, leading them to the source of nectar and pollen. Hummingbirds prefer plants with long tubular flowers in shades of red.
Allsup urges gardeners to include a decorative bird bath to serve as a source of water for pollinators, birds and other wildlife.
She warns that chemical pesticides should not be used on pollinator gardens and surrounding areas. Accept some insect damage, or use organic pesticides.

While this may not be your typical eco vacation it's still something that most people should try at least once in their life. What I am talking about is taking a trip to Germany during the month of October. Especially a large town in Germany called Munich. Every year they are having one of the largest funfair in the world here, the Oktoberfest. Most of you have most likely heard of it and are thinking that it's only beers and Tyroler kostumer, but it's so much more than this. Each year there are more than 6 million people from all over the world, comming to take part in this special event. This number is raising everything year, as it's becomming more and more trendy to visit this event.
It is basically 16-17 days of pure fun, 6 million people partying or having a great time. Of course beers are a large part of this, so is the German folk music or traditional wind music. Then we have the food, which is mainly Hendl (a type of roast chicken), Schweinebraten (slow roasted pork), Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), German Würstl (spicy sausages) along with Brezen (pretzel) and Sauerkraut. One of the most interesting parts about the oktoberfest, is the clothes. Most of the people who come to the fair are dressed up in classic tyroler kostumer, which is often lederhosen, tyrolertøj or Wittelsbach costumes which is inspired from the old fashion in Tyrole. At tyrolerudklaedning.dk you can see some examples of the clothes they normally wear. It's a big part of what makes this vacation so special.
Besides of taking part in the Oktoberfest, there are many other interesting things to do near Munich. It's a big town with a lot of culture, so if you like going to the opera, visiting some really great museums, or trying some exceptional food, then Munich is your kind of town. But for a lot of people, the best thing about this city is the beer. No where else in the world do you find this large an amount of different, and well tasting beers. That alone, is for many more than reason enough to give Munich a visit.
It's also a great town for shopping, they have a lot of different kind of shows, everything from high fashion to some really cool second hand shops. If you are there, be sure to buy a Tyroler Kostume in one of the many little shops, they are a great memory to take back home.
Visit Munich during October to take part in the Oktoberfest, or if you don't like funfairs and just want to see some culture instead, then visit it any other time of the year. But be sure to book at least 10 days of vacation there, as anything less is far from enough to see the things that you will be enjoying. I have been there about 4 times now, and it's a City, that I will be visiting again soon. Together with Rome, London and Paris it's one of the coolest cities in Europe, if you ask me.

Leonard Harrison State Park Things to Do
From the visitor center, the 0.6-mile Overlook Trail leads steeply downhill to Otter View, where you get a very dramatic view of the canyon. The trail begins relatively flat and passes an incinerator. Not long afterwards, the trail reaches the rim of the canyon and follows it for a little while; it then begins to descend steeply. While it's not an immensely steep grade, it's a good idea to have hiking shoes; I was wearing tennis shoes and had some trouble negotiating this section. At the end of the downhill is Otter View. The most scenic section of Pine Creek Gorge is visible. Otter View is named for the river otters that are now endangered in the the area. From the viewpoint, the trail climbs gently back up to the parking lot, and the loop ends at the incinerator. When I walked theis trail, it was still early spring and trees were still leaf-less, and the views were good in all directions. In summer, when vegetation is probably thick, it might not be the case.Related to:
- National/State Park
Step right out from the visitor center, and you'll get your first view of Pine Creek Gorge: 800 feet deep, and 4,000 feet wide. While it's not the best view in the park, it is very scenic. There are telescopes for viewing various birds such as ravens and eagles. Across the rapidly flowing Pine Creek you can see Colton Point State Park. For better views, turn left and keep walking...Related to:

This is Park Ranger Denny Bell, Leonard Harrison State Park. We chatted for some time, but, unfortunately, we were on our way out of the Park when we met Denny.
The photo was taken at the entrance to the Visitor's Centre, which you will find of interest before exploring the Park.
Leonard Harrison State Park Off The Beaten Path
We went camping at Leonard Harrison State Park for approximately five days.
During that time we were amazed on how beautiful the scenery was. The camp site is within walking distance from some great views of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Take the Turkey Path hike down to the waterfalls. It was worth the effort. Beware the path is difficult as the way back is all up hill.
Take a drive down Rt. 66 as again it has some of the most beatiful scenery around. The road is a two lane state route that winds and turns and is hilly. Take another trip into Wellsboro. It is a nice town with a handful of resturants we would of loved to check out if we had the time.
While camping we had a deer walk right onto our campsite. The ranger warned us that some rattlesnakes were removed from the area and said that bear, though in the area, rarely enter onto the campground. The sites are huge. I recommend site 23 as it is the biggest. Make a reservation so you can be assured a site w/ electricity.
The bathrooms were in generally clean conditions. Water spouts are spread throughout the grounds well. The campground wasn't selling wood or ice. No pets were allowed.
As with every trip there were some problems. The shower valves were't working so the showers were cold all week. They began to fix the problem on our last day and closed down the entire shower and sinks in the bathroom. No big deal but they didn't, and should of, warned everyone with a posting that showers would be unaccessible for the day.
Quiet hours were not enforced as I don't even think someone was staffed during the night. We had a man who thought everyone enjoyed his singing and guitar playing as he strolled around his campsite and down the road playing till the wee hours of the night. Other than this annyoing guy the park was very quiet.
There is only one shower per sex. It wasn't a problem for us as the campground wasn't even half filled. I would imagine that it would be more difficult to get a shower in when the campground was full. They also have one family shower.
I rank this campground and the surrounding area a 3.5 out of 4 stars and recommend it!!!Related to:
- Hiking and Walking
- National/State Park
- Camping
Be sure to get out of the car and see some of the overlooks here. If you're ambitious enough, there is a trail that goes all the way to the bottom of the gorge and up the other side to Colton Point.Related to:

Favorite thing: This is Judy (VT member JudyinPA), our host, and with whom Mary and I were staying whilst in Pennsylvania. We would probably not have visited the Canyon if it had not been for Judy, as it was quite a way north of our intended area of exploration. It would have been a great pity indeed, if we had missed this wonderful area of Pennsylvania. Thanks Judy (and Steve!).

Coat & Pants
I love my new coat and pants. The underarm vents on my Burton coat were a life saver on the slopes. The average temperature got up to 36, so it was getting a little warm waiting on the lifts.

Yes, the GTA magic touch is still there!
Written by Fred Laroche
Published Tuesday, 17 September 2013 11:25
The video game industry has changed a lot since its beginnings. Simple games based on trials and errors in the arcade days that too often had the main goal of getting you to waste more of your quarters paved the way for this new form of interactive entertainment which now became as important as cinema. As this young industry has already seen thousands of games, good and bad ones, classics already exist, often seen as perfect recipes for the perfect game. Among this short list, you can find Grand Theft Auto, a cult franchise which gamers love, sometimes even beyond reason. Having spanned multiple platforms throughout time, everyone or almost have their little story around the series. Furthermore, we don't need to remind you of the influence the series has had on other developers. When a new chapter in the oft-imitated GTA is announced, it's impossible to treat the game like any other, and GTA V proves it once again with record pre-orders that already pave the way to its success.
Welcome to Los Santos
Formerly a strong economical center, the city of Los Santos in the state of San Andreas is not what it used to be. Strongly hit by the poor economy, it does not represent the American dream in which all is possible. In this context, we follow the main story through the actions of three criminals following the trail of "easy money" so they can become rich. First of all, there is Michael, a bank robber in his 40s, retired and debt-ridden, whose personal life is a complete and utter mess. Mysteriously, we feel that he has a heavy past that he hides ever since his arrival in Los Santos, but what is it? On his path to- ahem- "recovery", he will cross a young black man named Franklin while he's trying to steal his car. Otherwise sympathetic, this man had the misfortune of growing up in a bad environment. Poor, Franklin is serious and motivated in his desire to leave his past behind... to try to do something bigger, more organized, and more lucrative. The two criminals then decide to tag along to meet Trevor. A psychopath, this ex-colleague of Michael is a violent, drug-trafficking man who everyone fears.
GTA wouldn't be GTA without letting us manoeuver our way through an open world. This time, the city of Los Santos is the biggest ever created in a game of the franchise. Its environments, which include urban areas, mountains, rivers, the ocean, deserts, and wild areas, are possible to explore through air, the road, and even underwater. On top of the usual vehicles that drive around the city, you can use bikes, motorcycles, and even planes. Each vehicle has been given a lot of care and attention to make its use seem credible. For example, not only do you need to pilot the plane, but that's not to forget that you need to make it take off and land it as well.
Cars are easier to control than in previous games, respecting more the physics of each car, but also respecting the surface you're driving on, like sand or grass. But if they do offer different viewpoints, the lack of a proper interior view is disappointing. Thankfully, you can still look around the car with the right stick and see if your frequent pursuants are close by. At a certain point, I would have been disappointed by the lack of real licensed cars in GTA, but now I feel more appreciative of the idea, since it allows for more creativity in their design. Fun fact: The logo for the brand that's inspired by Audi is made of four half-circles, instead of four full circles. That's not counting the fact that this time it is possible to make over 1,000 modifications on each car, whether esthetic or simply to tweak the performance.
Once familiarized with the menus, we find ourselves in GTA V much like in a comfortable pair of slippers. Like we saw in many other games, GTA V uses a smart phone to allow you to receive and send messages guiding you towards missions. On top of receiving calls, messages, and emails, it is now even possible to navigate on fake internet networks, presenting links to visit that have to do with the story. For example, you can visit a Facebook-like social network called Lifeinvader. In it, you can see the profiles of characters you met in the game. You can also use the GPS or consult the map at all times to help find your way across the city.
Of course, exploring the vast environment populated with people that walk around like it's real at our pace remains the key element of the game, but for me the magic of GTA V is really in its story.
Three characters, three scenarios, and a great tale
On the surface, it may look like GTA V does not bring much new to the table. After playing it for a while, we notice brand new things, such as the ability to switch between the three main characters. Due to that, you have to keep an eye on each character's progression. Trevor, Michael, and Franklin all possess different abilities and knowledge. For example, Trevor is an ex-military man and therefore is better at using weapons or piloting planes, but it is also possible to train the other characters so they can become better at it. However, each character has a single attribute that others can't learn. Michael can slow down time in gunfights, Trevor can resist gunfire better, and Franklin is a great driver and can slow down time when shooting from behind the wheel.
The missions
Like other games in the series, Grand Theft Auto V is set around multiple main missions that compose its main storyline. Like mentioned earlier, we can count on an enormous quantity of secondary objectives that will help you level up the abilities of your characters. You can find escort missions, races, carjacking sessions, hacking objectives, and more. While most of these missions are simplistic and linear, many more are more difficult and require preparation.
Weaponry is an important element of this GTA game. This time, it's easier to use them due to an automatic aiming system in the style of what Max Payne 3 offered. If you find it too easy, know that being alone against 25 policemen isn't all that simple. Combining that to the ability to hide behind cover makes gunfights very intense. Walking over corpses on the ground, you will always have enough ammunition. Furthermore, this ammunition adapts to the weapon you have in hand. If the police officer had a revolver and you have a 12' caliber, the ammunition left on the ground by corpses will also be for a 12' caliber. It is possible to carry four weapons with you, which is very sufficient to complete your missions. Weapons can also be modified by buying upgrades in weapon shops that are identified on the map. That's not all; you can also go to shooting stands. Between two missions of the main story, why not have fun shooting targets using heavy and light weaponry?
Graphically speaking, Grand Theft Auto V is the best looking game in the series. We find very few embarrassing graphical problems, much like it was the case in GTA IV, with limbs or objects that go through doors and walls. And with an environment this large, it would have been easy to let some slide and, honestly, it would have been forgivable. I also have to note that the interaction with the environment is the best we've seen yet. For the first time in a GTA game, you will not be able to hide for long if you plan to use a small piece of wood as cover, considering that it will degrade with time, as bullets pierce through it. You can also count on a 24hr cycle, and dynamic weather which adds rain, fog, and sunshine. Naturally, while I was playing, I asked myself how much more beautiful it would be on PS4 and Xbox One.
Final Focus
Without a doubt, we can say that it's mission accomplished for Rockstar North and this new Grand Theft Auto. Of course, exploring the vast environment populated with people that walk around like it's real at our pace remains the key element of the game, but for me the magic of GTA V is really in its story. It is so wonderfully presented that, after a few hours, we get attached to each character to the point of being unable to stop playing to find out the ending of each scenario and its impact on the main storyline.
To be honest, GTA V does not revolutionize anything, but it's better than what was offered before. Taking advantage of the maximum amount of power that current generation consoles can offer, I can only imagine what this great franchise will have in store for the next generation.

Pass It or Play It? - Surgeon Simulator (PS4)The surprise 2013 hit Surgeon Simulator has made its way from PC to PlayStation 4, giving a new group of players a chance to experience the game. Developer Bossa Studios originally created Surgeon Simulator within 48 hours for Global Jam 2013, and subsequently went on to develop the game for another 48 days.

Evolve Toronto Launch EventLast night as the clock ticked down to the midnight release of the highly anticipated 4v1 monster hunting extravaganza known as Evolve, Xbox and EB Games threw a launch party in Toronto to celebrate the game's imminent release. Attendees stepped off the sixth floor elevator and were instantly greeted with some thick foliage and monster footprints. It appeared that the downtown loft space had been magically transformed to the planet Shear, complete with staff decked out in garb ready for some big game hunting. Ammon belts, camo and other accessories straight from Ted Nugent's closet were the threads and animal skulls, furs and weaponry adorned the walls. Read more

Apple's Most Personal Device - This Year
Apple has finally lifted the curtain on the Apple Watch and, unsurprisingly, it looks good. Maybe you're crunching the numbers to determine if you can afford the $13,000, 38mm 18-carat rose gold case edition or the $449.00 sport model. No matter what you pick you'll need an Apple iPhone 5 or later running the latest version of iOS, so don't forget to figure that into the cost as well. Before taking out a line of credit to buy the latest and greatest from Apple I'd recommend holding off and avoiding the April 24th release date altogether.

Why We Need the Worst Game Ever
Maybe it wouldn't have been as bad if the sales person hadn't said, "this is our most popular seller; I can barely keep it on the shelves." My mother and I were in the only video game store in the city. It was in the basement of a professional building and smelled like stale cigarette smoke and BO. For passing grade five I was rewarded with a video game. This wasn't a decision to be made lightly; this would be one of the two games I'd get all year. I can no longer remember the game I originally wanted but I do remember the store didn't have it. Instead, the sales person was recommending something I'd never heard of, a little game called "Mystery Quest."

RCA lcd hd tv
I was just at Walmart and they have a RCA 42" model l42fhd37 lcd tv. on sale for $699.00. Anyone have any experience with RCA t.v.s Thanks in advance Stan
I hate to see your question unanswered so I will give you my opinion. A lot of the electrical components are made by the same companies whether they be RCA, Magnavox, Motorola, or whomever and then assembled under the specific brand names (usually in China or Mexico these days). The best way to shop for things like TV's is what kind of support services you can expect later and available repair locations. I've bought a lot of stuff from Walmart as well have millions of other folks and, for the most part, I have no complaints. They don't make them, they just broker them for you. You'd have the same issues, if you even have issues, no matter where you bought the unit. When it comes to repairs, if they even need to be done, well good luck! You'll have to deal with the company the brand is named under usually after 30 days from purchase. We live in a throw away world and it seems not too long after warranty periods, it's not much longer until you need a new one, whatever it is. With that, let me just say that RCA is as competitive as anyone else when it comes to customer service, from the company...they all suck. I never thought I'd say this but I have to admit, when I look for electronics, I look to see if Samsung makes it and if so, they are my choice. All that said, for a good deal, if I wanted a 42" LCD TV and the RCA was the lowest cost one, I'd go for it.
I'm not even going to get into MHZ and DPI when considering a flat panel TV. I'm hoping you just want something better than the old CRT that takes up less space. I will say the higher levels aren't as good as you would expect them to be.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I still have what my daughter calls an very "ancient" machine which is a 25 year old 27" Sear TV which has never had one problem. They just don't make them like that anymore. When we were shopping and first saw this RCA model we were going to buy it but my two daughters were with us that day and they almost had a heart attack! I just so happens that both of them have Samsung models and they are convinced that only the "3S's" Samsung, Sony and Sanyo can be purchased. I remember the old RCA with its dog and old phonograph but I know those days are gone. I did some checking on Consumersreports.org and the general advice there was to stay away from RCA. Thanks again for taking the time. Stan
There was a day when RCA was the King of the Hill as far as TV's were concerned. But those days are long gone. I have to agree with your daughters.
The top rated LCD TV in Consumers Report is the Samsung LN40A630. Number 2 is the Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR7 (expensive) and the 3rd rated one was a Samsung LN40A550. Both Samsungs ran around $1300 to $1400, but you should be able to find them cheaper than that.
