Check out this cool webinar I am involved with. Someone who participates in this webinar will get a Bose Wave Radio. I was among the first to purchase a Bose Acoustic Wave radio \u2013 back in 1987 or so. This was a great radio to take to a field and listen to while you throw a Frisbee around. Better yet an Aerobie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On another note \u2013 I worked for 5 years in the mailroom at TMC so I could purchase stereo system for over $2,000 when I was 13. No I am not kidding. You got a lot for $2,000 back then but those diamond styli (not the ones you use with a \u00a0<\/span>PDA \u2013 these were placed on the surface of the record) were killers \u2013 so expensive. Every summer and vacation, I was working here at TMC. I purchased a pair of Bose 901 speakers for $650. The speakers were recalled a few years back and for a nominal fee Bose gave me new 901s. I still have them.<\/p>\n

Boy did I digress. Here is the info on the web seminar. Pretty unusual approach to web seminars. Don\u2019t you think? I wonder if I am eligible to win this radio\u2026 Probably not. Too bad.<\/p>\n

The "Dragons" have been around almost since Bell<\/place><\/city>‘s first telecom words were spoken in 1876.
