In Chicago that might be true. When I was at the education center
there we had a new disk drive show up (when they were the size of a
washing machine). I just started cabling it up and the manager came
running over and told me we couldn't touch the cables until a IBEW guy
got there. We still did all the work ourselves but we needed the union
guy there, on the clock, before we could start.

I guess that was the case with Harry's father-in-law, or something like that. Surely
he wouldn't have made up the 'professionally installed' part of his Bose story.

Krause, I will say it again. Normal people buy speakers that produce sounds they

your father preferred has absolutely no bearing on anything, except perhaps to lend

Hey, it wasn't just a pair, it was an "array". Probably took three or four professionals to do the install.

Oh, I missed that. I saw an array of 901's once, in a night club in I Tae Won, a part
of Seoul, Korea. The club had six or eight mounted on the walls around the huge dance
floor.

My wife just took down about 40 Bose ceiling speakers.
I suppose that was an array.
I grabbed a few from the pile as they were giving them out.
Nothing special about them from what I can tell. ... but I am deaf

Which ones?
