Bose makes more than speakers...

Jc, i think that all of those comments were made in jest. Personally, i did not know that Bose was involved in those other areas. As such, it was enlightening to find that out. Sean

Jc- Like sean said we are screwballs here, and nothing goes with out a laugh or an attempt at a laugh. Anything that involves bose is going to spawn countless jokes, just get used to it and enjoy, its ment to be fun :)

I know that Bose jokes a dime a dozen--I've made my fair share, and I liked some of the jokes above. I just wanted to clarify myself, so that people wouldn't consider me a total idiot. (I may be a bit sensitive, since I usually end up buying equipment that isn't fashionable....)

Somewhat off topic, but I'm just curious. Do the owner/drivers of those $60,000+ German driving machines look down upon U.S. domestic cars with the same sneering intensity as audiophiles look down upon Bose products?

From that clipping, I now know why the Defense Dept has the need for a billion dollar budget. Think about it, Bose think tank gets put together to find out whose more gullible than the American public. Then 1 person reads aloud the article about the $600 dollar Defense Dept toilet seats a little while back, and marketing eyes light up as they realize they are set for life. Build and sell to the Defense Dept! Gotta tell you though, the noise canceling headphones work, just used a friend of mine's, incredible difference.
