"But the fact is, most people don't want high-end
stereos anymore. Many don't want any stereo at all.
The entire market for traditional home audio
products--speakers, amps, receivers and so forth--will
be about $1.7 billion this year, according to the
Consumer Electronics Association. In contrast, speaker
docks for portable MP3 players will generate more than
$1 billion all by themselves, and sales of MP3 players
will top $5.6 billion."
And your point is what, GOIA? This is what I've said
all along. People choose products for reasons of their
own. Portable MP3 docks are not "high-fidelity". They
are, however, portable. So portablility wins over
sound. Yay!
The market has spoken: MP3 is the best thing going.
Everything else is floobydust.
Why does there have to be a point? The point is
discussion, if you don't understand/dislike that idea,
why are you here?
It's quite obvious why ****R is here - he's here to
boost his wounded ego by summarily putting down just
about everybody he responds to. That's all this hole
needs - another Middiot! :-(
Don't be sad, GOIA, as what you've claimed isn't true at all.
Which part?
The part about you Mr. ****R putting people down is an observable fact.
The part about whether or not RAO is a hole, is an observable fact.
The part about RAO not needing another Middiot might be controversial.
The list of people that I've responded to and not "put
down" is far, far longer than the list of those that I
have.
Typical of your insane comparisons, ****R. I've had over 10 years to put
people down, and you've been posting here for just a year or two. Back in
the day, the activity level around here was easily 20 or 30 times what it is
now. You're catching up with me even though you have 20 or 30 less times
fewer targets. Furthermore, I don't put people down unless they make
personal attacks on me. You do it, regardless.
Since my sanity isn't, um, "up to par" I
am not capable of processing that, so I'll let
this slip.
See what I mean, ****R? It's virtually impossible for you to reply without
making some kind of personal attack.
