Celebrities A/V systems - any interest?
I believe Michael Jordan has a pair of Wilson Watt speakers. I dont know what his assosiated equipment is. It is interesting seeing what gear gets thrown into movies and tvs. The FRIENDS males also have a small Logan speaker. Ive seen a LINN turnt...

U.S. Postal Service mail delays
Sarah,I dont think you have any reason the have to feel responsible for the delay, and if the seller is upset at you, this is someone who I would not want to do business with at any point in the future. I have been waiting, possibly rather naively... 
What would you do differently?
SarahI think it would be best if you stayed single, imagine marrying and becoming one of the 54% who divorce. What a wicked time you'd have spitting up all that audio gear!!
