After 2.5 years of re arranging the furniture every other day, coffee clutching with the neighborhood wives, and getting strange looks from the wife. The rest of the story is best served over a barstool but glad to be working again none the less. Time to play catch-up now, though I feel this job may be temporary who cares, money is money. Even an old **** like me learned a thing or two from not working for so long. Thanks for the well wishes from you all. Now....I know I put those car keys somewhere, 2.5 years ago.:cheesygrin:

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Great news Tony, Congrats!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Congrats Tony, best of luck.

    I would give anything to be able to work again, just the human contact, and the self worth.

    Hope it works out.
