| What to do with dead equipment Best Buy retail stores recycle nearly anything, only charging for flat screens. Dropped off an ancient MS mouse (cabled) and an old Dell (wireless, no dongle) to BB, and a working 160gb hard drive (blank formatted, of course) to Goodwill. More i... | |

| Steely Dan Aja cover @sls141 , down with that...👍 Goin' with the flow makes sense until the roar of the ever eventual waterfall is finally comprehended....Then the excrement that's buried the fan becomes the priority...... "When it all stops making sense, that's whe... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover @sls141 ...I've woke up late to movies playing and had a similar response... A better one (kinda) is spouse 'n I on a long charter bus trip with the AV playing chinese 'soap operas' with no subtitles (predominately Asian riders onboard).... Made... | |

Mmmm, by situation I've had to make the latter work harder later on; but have gained such that I can make the $'s work better when I opt to do so. If I had more of the former, I could make better choices. Not necessarily Super SOTA, mind you....... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? @mapman ....+10 to the tenteenth....*G* ;) Experience can make one either 'discriminating'.....or severely jaundiced.... *LOL* | |

| Why is selling used stereo equipment involve people from the sales platform? In an age of ring lights and cells that can take an image where an older SLR would need a tripod, a long exposure, and an even longer wait for the pic in ones' hands...? Agreed, a pic of a serial # is bit of a stretch...but some shots look like h... | |
