Thanks for posting this. I figured a station or two would be running a marathon. I can't wait - just got a new LCD HD also, so I'll get the popcorn and stock up the fridge.

Also, Broadway is dimming their lights this Friday evening at 8 pm. If any of our New Yorkers might be down that way, it would be great if you could get a pic of it and post here. I've never seen that and wonder what it looks like when they dim them in honour of someone.

Rest peacefully Paul (although knowing him, he'd rather be going 200mph behind the wheel).
