If it makes you a happy customer then go for it.:) (Just be prepared for some additional expense relating to TCO in some situations.) |

| 510158 | 2007-01-01 09:01:00 | Still think Id prefer to be one of the 100 million around the globe who own an iPod and just play my music than be "lost" in the crown trying to find another brown Zune and "squirt" my songs to the owner;) The only other thing that comes close to that is not worthy of discussing on this forum.:D | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 510159 | 2007-01-01 16:29:00 | I don't get it . . . nor do I own any sort of MP3 player other than my desktop . I don't really feel I need one, don't want to carry one around and have earbuds and wires hanging down . Social misfit? Perhaps . . but I really don't even have a cellphone either . . . just another leash and encumberance for me . In transit, I have Hendrix and Santana in my Isuzu and K-5 when I want to make some noise . . . but that's because it's MY environment and I don't infringe upon the rights of others with my pollution . . . unless they ride with me and all bets are off . When did life get so complicated that we have to have multiple "things" to entertain, inform and keep us in contact with the rest of humanity . . . and fear losing connection or not having enough bars on our cells? I see people walking up and down the aisles of stores . . talking furiously on their cells and asking if the "giant-economy sized" box of soap would be better . I have personal experience of a young (blonde, female) driver sitting at a full stop and upon hearing the word "go" or "accelerate rapidly" in the cellphone conversation . . did so and ran into the side of my wife's van . Zombied! Maybe it's just my age, but what I see as "convienences" are nothing more than encumberances and hinderances to our mental sanity . These things are supposed to make our lives more simple (?) and easier (?) with an eye toward instant gratification and status . . . . but I don't see it . We have a large bird here in the States that collects pretty rocks, chunks of aluminum foil, bottle caps and pieces of string with the purpose of attracting a mate . . . Is this what it's all about? But seriously . . . . . . . . . . Just a bunch of lemmings . :annoyed: |

I also don't own a mp3 player and don't intend to in the immediate future . Its all about getting you to part with your hard earned cash, thats what marketing people are for (oh and sales people once you have walked in the door) . I think the term "upsell" sums it up well . When you come into our store , online or physical, we want you to buy more than you intended to . So when you go to buy your iPod we want to sell you a more expensive one than you intended and lots of accessories and also you will need that extended warranty too, just in case . Want fries with that . . . oh sorry, this is a electrical store . |

| 510161 | 2007-01-01 21:44:00 | I've got a horse and buggy cart with an axe and a load of wood to be chopped for the cooking fire in front of my hand build wooden settlers cottage if anyone is interested. ;) | winmacguy (3367) | ||

I gave up on cd players in the car after having 2 stolen, It's a great way of having music at a party( cds usually get trashed) |
