Reminds me of when I was in BB once. The salesman said he had a certain model tv in his house. I suggested he hook up with Cindy in digital cameras. She could take a pic of his tv with the camera she said she had from the store.

I just spent the last two weeks of my life working for Sears electronics. So I can understand people hating salesmen. The Sears store is next door to a Best Buy and customers come into Sears with so much misinformation from Best Buy about products.

Remember, some people need to be told what to buy. They do not have the patience to sit on the net like all of us and soak up ridiculous amounts of information about this stuff. Almost everyone who works at my local Best Buy hates me because I nag them constantly about why they do not carry more DVD-A's and SACD's. And because they are also really stupid. They make like $8 an hour at Best Buy. I just made around $30/Hour in the last two weeks working commision at SEARS.

Now that I have made my money, I have left that shithole. Back to school in a couple of weeks. Can not have a job when studying Architectural Engineering.

I was on the tennis team, worked in the intramurals dept., taught tennis at various local tennis clubs and rec depts., all while working on my computer science degree.

You can work and study architectural engineering.

Just a pet peeve of mine because I think I had it easy compared to some of my friends.

Mike (mwc) brags how good his tennis is. Give him a game and play for his Maggies.

I have not played competively in a long time. I hit some with spiffnme a couple of months ago, timing was WAY off...and I was hurting the next day.

I keep getting calls from old tennis friends trying to get me back on the court, so I may. I have another friend getting back on the court in February after a long layoff...so I may start up then as well. It is a matter of getting the interest and fire going.

Curtis would have to spot me some games (handicap) because of the age difference.

I don't remember bragging but Saturn, I'd be happy to play you for your Maggies. I'd love to have an extra set of MG12s as side surrounds .

You want fire?
Play for the Maggies.
I would potentially pay to see that game. Maybe a loonie or two. Possibly even 2 toonies.

That's a really funny comic strip. I'm quite enjoying paging through the weeks worth of stuff about the agony of purchasing a HT system.

Good stuff!! :-)

The whole strip is funny. My sister mentioned it to me the other day. I'm a reader of several webcomics. If anyone wants tips on the good ones...
