Consumer Electronics - 30 December 2006

i have an old surround sound system with only composite plugs in the back (red, white, yellow), this one only has red and white. i took one of thoes splitter-plugs that camcorders come with, (one end has one plug and the other end has the white and yellow). i plugged it into the sound-out in the back of the computer and then into the surround. im wondering if i can connect the yellow to the red in the surround because there's no video comming out anyway.

I'm using Verizon, and I'm up for a discount on a new phone. I just got the Samsung SCH-A870 and am not very happy with it.

1) Any recommendations for phones in general? I want to get a phone for free (yeah, I'm cheap), so I think the 2-year contract price has to be under $99.

2) Specifically, I'm looking at the RAZR v3m and LG VX8300. I'm also interested in the LG VX8600, though this will cost me $50 and it had better be excellent if I'm going to shell out any money. Can anyone tell me:
--Is there a hotkey that you can push to get into vibrate/silent? For example, on some phones, you can hold down #.
--When you go into silent mode, does the camera shutter still make a sound? Is there a way to turn the shutter off?
--Does the external display stay on a) when you're on the phone and b) when the phone is idle? If not, is it easy to turn the display back on?
--How is call quality?

Thanks so much!

What really happend was that I was at the playground with my little sister and it droped a good 6 feet in to the sand. Is there another story that involves sand that I could tell them so i can be covered and not have to pay money to fix it? There is very litile sand that actully is in the camera.

Cable was supposed to hook up 3 boxes in my house, which they knew before they sent the "cable guy," and when the man came yesterday, he informed us that one of the 3 boxes he brought was broken, hooked up two of them, and told us the 3rd could come another time. Now they insist I pay a service charge for delivery and installation, when to come into the house in the first place it is $9.99 to install any amount of boxes. They got their $9.99 for the installation of the 2 boxes yesterday, but they say they will not come and install the 3rd unless we pay 20 something dollars. Can I insist they come free of charge? It was their mistake for sending a broken box in the first place, but they are being really stubborn, and I bet they do this purposely. Is there anything I can do about it?
