| RIP Jimmy Buffett I feel like a grew up with Jimmy. Saw him the first time in probably 1974 and paid three or four bucks for the ticket. Saw seven or eight buffet shows after that and couldn't wait to buy every album. I took my teenage daughters to one of his outst... | |

While that is certainly the best approach to a major pu... | |
| Magico's M9 I'd like to hear them too. hard for me to imagine that speakers could be worth that but money is a relative measure, and if someone has the cash and chooses to spend it this way, good for them. It's not a moral issue. Problem with that point of vi... | |
