Well, finally 4 months after purchasing my HD DVD Player I finally          
      got an adult HD DVD. To prepare for this day (and to enjoy            
      the HD experience) I have purchased 31 regular releases HD DVD's.     
                                                                            
      This started when I bought the HD DVD Player specifically to          
      play the HD DVD version of Pirates and Island Fever 3. Turns          
      out that they are not HD DVD and I was left hanging.                  
                                                                            
      So, I was really excited when UPS delivered Camp Cuddly Pines         
      on HD DVD.                                                            
                                                                            
      You can image how crushed I was when the HD DVD did not play          
      in my 4 month old machine. Included with the packaging was a          
      note that 'Might requite HD DVD Player firmware update.'              
                                                                            
      What is firmware? I don't know, but I was about to find out!          
                                                                            
      I called Wicked and talked to Heth and she was very nice to           
      me and directed me to Jackie who explained that I needed to           
      update the software in my HD DVD Player and told me how to            
      do it. Two possible answers:                                           
        1> Ethernet connection                                               
        2> Download new version, write to CD & then do update using CD.      
      Skip step one and go to step two.                                      
                                                                            
Now for the really fun stuff.                                               
      I was scared to death to do this so, I emailed the only other          
      guy I know who has HD DVD.                                             
                                                                            
      Bill is a moderator for Adult DVD Talk and he is the guy who           
      made the suggestion for the new way I rate DVD and DVD extras.         
                                                                            
      Bill searched the internet and found a web site that had the           
      new version I needed. (Manufacturer does not have on it's              
      web site). Bill sent me detailed instructions on step-by-step          
      what to do. And, he promised to call me if I got in trouble.           
                                                                            
      So, after one very sleepless night and 5:00am back at it, I            
      followed Bill's email and it was a piece of cake and it                
      worked!

      Thank You Heth.
      Thank You Jackie.
      Thank You Bill.
