Accomplished

Helped my SIL check out her (potential) new apartment today. Wrote down all that needed to be fixed or finished. Measured the new place, so she could see that her stuff fits. (It's in the same attached row of houses).

At home tonight I replaced my husbands bad drives - he has the DVD reader from my PC (which was replaced by a burner) and a new DVD burner. I also hooked up our repaired DVD/VCR to the bedroom tv. Now we have 4 places to watch DVDs in our house (2 PC's, 2 TV's) - no waiting!

Geek help

1. To connect a DVD/VCR to a tv - is it better to use a coax (cable tv type) cable or the red/yellow/white kind (I think they are called RCA plugs)? Currently the tv is connected by the cable - what is the difference?

2. I need help installing the second drive in my husband's system. I see the original drive - there are 2 bays each filled with a DVD drive - I am not sure how you connect the cables from drive #1 to drive #2 (I see a power supply cable for it) and where you screw drive #2 into. (The burners were easy because they replaced existing drives).

Thanks to anyone who can help.
