At GG yesterday I could have picked up a returned A23 (the guy had just brought it back that day - was sitting at the register) for $600. 10 year warranty and all. I declined. I think I've gotten over my infatuation with that beautiful sound, the satin silver finish and those faintly glowing blue lights. I'd much rather have a new lawnmower and a pair of earrings for the Mrs.

Are you using windows? If so, here's a fix to help you avoid the parasound website.
First locate your hosts file:
Windows 95/98/Me -- c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro -- c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home -- c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Open the file with notepad and add the following line to the bottom:
127.0.0.1 www.parasound.com
Save and close the file.
The next time you try to go to the parasound website, your browser won't find it!

Because you don't want a lawnmower?

I hope you're going to at least put a nice sound system in that mower -- even if it isn't a ride mower!

If you're using a Mac, I can help you with this problem as well.
For OS 9, create a file in SimpleText named hosts and type the following:
www.parasound.com A 127.0.0.1
Save the file, and in the TCP/IP control panel, go to advanced settings (from the Edit menu, I believe), and press "Select Host file". Find the hosts file you created, and press OK to all the various dialog boxes.
For OS X, log in as root (if you need help with that, PM me) choose "Go to folder..." from the Go menu in the Finder, and type /etc
find the file named hosts and open it.
Enter the line
127.0.0.1 www.parasound.com
and save the file.

No riding mower. I've got a push mower with a 6 hp Briggs & Scrapiron on top. Don't need a stereo on it either, I'm already impressing the ladies on the street with my ability to push the mower with one hand and hang on to a bottle of beer with the other.
