Default OT (sort of) Makes you wonder what else they're up to...

Earlier in the Overton's thread, i was comparing pricing of buying a
bow light from Wal-mart or mail order. I don't need either one, but
was just noting that Wallies was cheaper priced for the exact same
thing that ws available from Overtons.

It was mentioned that overtons had a good quality USA built Bimini
which i do need and will investigate further.

Then I hear about this.

Im now a Wal-box fan. Never was, never will be. and this helps me make
decisions on where to shop.

Wal-Mart is a good place to avoid for many reasons.

I don't even like driving by Wal-Mart stores. I always think the place
is going to blow up from "deferred maintenance" or that an irate
customer trying to return shoddy Chinese goods is going to come out the
front door dissatisfied, guns ablazing.

That has to be one of the dumbest comments about something I've ever
seen.

But then again, they're not the only ones guilty either. and only a
mil. $ fine to them isn't even chump change. they probably sold more
than that in obsolete electronics, not counting the other stuff people
bought incuding the TV.....

I'd say that Walie made out like the bandits I think they are.

Along that line, I ordered the coupons for the digital converter and picked
up a couple of the boxes. Even though I'm on Dish, I hooked one up to one
of my old TVs. I couldn't believe the quality of the picture I got just
using rabbit ears for the local stations. Got a couple of extra signals
broadcast by the local stations, also. If I could get my wife weaned off
watching the Suns (NBA) and Diamondbacks (MLB), I'd consider dropping the
Dish.

Wonder if the US gov't would send a couple of those free converters up here.
I have two 19" JVC analog sets, left behind by my sons, that work perfectly.
