As much as I dislike Bose one of the only things they make that is worth buying is noise cancelling headphones. They are expensive but they tend to be worth it and actually perform much better than the competiton.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

quality? price? service? silly hype?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Here's a page about Bose that goes into way too much detail: [link]

Thanks, Tom -- this is good to know. (My work involves handling loads of fairly low-quality audio, but as a certified tin ear, I never quite know what to say when clients ask for advice about higher-end (or "higher-end") stuff.)

Two catchphrases in the pro audio world that are applied to Bose.
"Bose: Better sound through marketing" and "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."
They do make a nice clock radio though.

If you have $500 to drop on a clock radio, I guess...
(sorta suspected that was what it came down to, but it's good to know from people who have a clue. thanks!)

Good to know. I apparently have fallen for the marketing because I had the impression that Bose makes high quality audio stuff, even though I don't have any first hand experience with it. Oh well, I'm not their market anyhow.

Yeah, but at that point, you could just type it in the address box.
I did that with Dicks Sporting Goods one time (using www.dicks.com) and realized I should have thought that out a bit first.

I have a Mac/PC question. I have a CD of photos from a photographer. We tried opening it with two PCs at the client's, and one opened it and one couldn't see the CD at all. At home, my desktop can't see the disk at all, but my laptop can. I'm going to have to get 3 gigs of photos from the laptop to the PC, which is a pain. Is there something the photographer can change in the way he burns the CDs so this doesn't happen again?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The first thing that pops into my head: Ask him to close the session (if he's not already) on each CD he gives you.
That might be the problem....
