Sad Story

[jsteinhauer]

So one of my business partners has been finishing their basement into an entertainment/recreation area, and had a local outfit come and install their a/v equipment (kind of HT lite). I don't know everything they have, because my partner is the wife (no offense to those females who are interested in electronics). I do know they got a Sony 46" XBR4, which is a fine purchase and a cable HDDVR, but they placed their order before the holidays, and made a decision based (I am told) on price (which stuns me) to get a Toshiba HDDVD player. They are just finally getting it installed this week. All I could do was convey my condolences. They save about $400 at the time, but now they have something that is nearly worthless, if you don't already have a collection of HDDVDs. I told her it was a pretty decend DVD upconverter. I hope her husband doesn't monitor this forum, because I will be recognized, I'm sure.
