| Bug Ugly Those B&W Nautilis Speakers in the Stereophile ad with the swirly gray side panels that looked like Blutarsky already hurled on them. | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Well rogo, you've identified a major problem in high end retailing. High mark-ups vs. ready availability on the net or nearly new product. I have made a decision not to go cruising the salons when I will likely buy on the net; I have a small busin... | |
| Anybody hear of Jack Johnson? 4yanx- I thought of that immediately as well. Prety funny, but I thing you had to "be there" to really appreciate it. | |
| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground My Mailboxes etc, confirmed that to me that UPS and MBE share ownership at the corporate level. MBE, I believe, is a franchise operation, so each is independently owned. They also told me they were getting set-up w/Fedex Ground in the near future. | |
| Drawbacks from selling overseas ? I've bought and sold abroad (from Australia, to Singapore). Albert accurately summed up the issues. In addition to wire transfer, Bidpay/Western Union is also available to send funds in US$. There are some hassles regarding shipping, but in genera... | |

| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads All them oysters (or as they say along the Outer Pennisula, ahsters). | |
| Loreena McKennitt and Eva Cassidy Warren- I've got that one. Its OK, but not in same league with Eva Cassidy (sorry, not a big Loreena McKinne fan). It was recorded using equipment designed by George Kaye, designer of Moscode amps. | |
| Where is the best place to store electronic parts? I just transferred my collection of (mostly) 9 pin minis to a plastic tackle box. You can fit 4 6922s or 12AX7s in each small compartment and I put the few EL34s and 6v6s into the larger slots, then there is the whole bottom for bigger things. Cou... | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads Thanks Glen. Alzheimer's is not so bad, you meet great new people every day. | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads I just looked it up (didn't even know it was there) and then just had a brain fart. I think it was something like 550 +/-. | |
| Relationship between McCormack and CJ? Wow, is that cool or what? Straight from the horse's mouth. Gets my vote for the definitive post of the year. Nothing to add from anyone. |
