The truth hurts, doesn't it? the majority of the world is mindless
sheep, living for the day, if not the hour. The concept of looking for
quality and serviceability has been lost by the herd.

I don't think they ever had it. People are more influenced by advertising
than careful thought.


It is if the willing spend money on things they don't understand. DO
you buy a car, or power tools without looking them over and deciding
they will meet your needs? Or do you just toss a dart and buy whatever
piece of crap you hit? If people didn't buy the cheapest piece of ***
that the Chinese or any other country wants to dump, they would either
build better equipment, or go out of business. You are a complete and
utter fool if you think you can place ALL of the blame at the feet of
the bean counters.

I bought a Chinese jukebox -- the iRiver HP-120 -- after careful research,
and have had no reason to complain. At the time I bought it, it was a much
better product than any of the iPods. As an audio-only player, it still is.


I quit that job after four years, and I did it the day they announced
changes that I didn't like. Try it some time. Be a man (if you can). I
had to move to another state to find another good job, and turned down
several crappy offers in the process. One was Chief Engineer of WRGT TV
in Dayton, Ohio, because the pay and working conditions were crap.

Were you married at the time? Having dependents can greatly reduce your
freedom to make a decision.
