Hi, I've been lurking for a while and thought that I would properly introduce myself. I'm a Canadian sailor on loan to the USN for the next 3 years. Working in Washington has been an eye opening experience for this small town Canuck. I am looking at purchasing a solid HT system while I am down here. Interestingly enough, it is actually cheaper for me to buy Axioms while I am in the US, once you take into account 15% in additional taxes that our Federal and Provincial coffers like to take.

I think that I am at the point of asking a forum member who lives in the DC area if I can impose on him/her for a listen. I guess it's over to the hearing things lookup.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the next 3 years of exile before returning to my home in Victoria, BC.

And for those who didn't think Canada had a Navy...check this out; you are not the only one...http://www.satirewire.com/news/feb02/warship.shtml
