Okay, I guess it's no secret that I'm an audio/video/electronics freak.
My 400-line 120-inch Zenith television died in the late 1990s, and I just recently replaced it with a
65-inch Sony HDTV.
I'm seriously looking at the
300-inch Sony TV
and having a room added onto my house with 14-foot ceilings and theater seating.
I recently bought a eighth HI-FI VCR (four are
Super-VHS).
I have a host of computers, and a Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound system.
The house I bought has a satellite dish in the back yard.
I added a minidish and then signed up for cable TV when they finally wired the neighborhood.

I really want to get a Flip Video Mino HD, which records 120 minutes of 720p (wish it were 1080!) HD video and can instantly upload it to YouTube.

A have about 40 LP albums, another 40 8-track tapes, a few hundred casette tapes, and about 300 compact discs.
I have listened to each at least once, and most not more than once.
I like just about any kind of music,
(I used to (proudly) say that I had every kind of music except rap, jazz, and raggae, but I have since picked up one CD of each),
although I lean toward Alternative, Dance, Western, Pop, Hard Rock, Classical, Heavy Metal, Light Rock, and Country
(pretty much in that order).
Some of my favorite artists (in no particular order):
My video library has a thousand or two movies (most of which I've never seen), a few hundred Music Videos (since MTV refuses to play music anymore), as well as a ton of television episodes.
Most are on Super-VHS tapes.
The main television series I've been collecting are:
I also highly recommend The BBC Ultimate Comedy Megapack (Absolutely Fabulous/Black Adder/Father Ted/Fawlty Towers/Red Dwarf/The Young Ones/Coupling/Keeping Up Appearances/Yes, Minister/French & Saunders)
Enough about me... how about the other Audio and Video web sites out there:
