Local CBC says it's minus 12C but feels like minus 23C due to wind.
I'd better buy a new outdoor thermometer...or place the current one further from the house.

I can afford to buy a new boat, dummy.
Wife and I picked out one yesterday at the local boat show.
So? Come on...tell us more. Pictures?

Here I've spent hours reading and listening to computer sound systems, and you're

I looked at that in Best Buy. If they'd had one in stock, I may have brought it home.
Luckily, they were out of them. I came home, moved the subwoofer to a different spot,
and listened to the Saint-Saëns symphony at a reasonable volume. Sounded great, so
I'm going to stick with these old Logitech Z2300s for a while longer.

I bought mine from the Bose outlet store. 30% off retail and they seem
to hold their distributors to retail prices.

Amazon, Best Buy, Bose, etc, all want $399 for the Companion 5s. Only used, on Ebay,
is there a different price that I saw.

If I were to go with a different set, those would be the speakers, I think.

Interesting that Bose doesn't include frequency response in its on-line
specs, unless I missed it.

Ahh, so the frequency response numbers must be pretty crappy in
comparison to similarly priced speakers from other manufacturers...enjoy.
