    My kids (2) are already deciding who gets the HT gear and who gets the 2ch system when I go. Same with the physical media - my son wants all the music and my daughter wants the movies…

    Leave the movies and two channel to your daughter and the HT setup and music to your son... Grab a Corona in heaven and sit back and watch them sort it out!

    If you remember the boot tamping and see this, it's funny once again. Never in a hundred years... :s:D

    Although it was for sale 9 weeks ago. Maybe they still have it. Nope, they sold the tamper and the weazel. :p It's just about 30 miles away...Maybe I wouldn't have spent $ on the gas, 10.00 to go get them. :D Oh well. I might have to look up the price of a new tamper now. :D DANG! 40.00. :o I see why my frugal butt never bought one. :s

    ^^^^^If you have a friend that works in the paving industry ask him to get you a broken one if want to save $. The handles don't last long and they always break off at the top of the steel plate. Most places I know toss the tamp plates as it's not worth paying a guy to dig the remnants of the old handle out and fit in the now shorter left over handle.

    I've tried to stoke up interest in both my kids. Neither seem to care much about HiFi or HT gear at this point. Maybe that will change as they get out of college and start to furnish their own places.
