Tuba or TV?
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

That is one nice TV. Too bad there isn't anything *on* TV worthy of such quality.tbn.al wrote:What to buy with my year end bonus, a couple of nice tubas or this nice TV?

Screw TV....buy the thing and use it as a computer monitor! 
Or better yet...buy 2 40-50 inch Flat screen LCDs (couple thousand $' a piece) and a computer that can output to both of them (if you don't already have one) then buy one awesome tuba with the rest of the $$.

I could have a lot more interesting viewing experience with the telescope. I was seriously surfing for a TV for a Christmas present for my son when I stumbled across this outrageous thing. If I had a bonus that big in the works, and I don't, it certainily wouldn't turn into a 34k TV. I could even buy Rudy's 7/4 and have a bit of change left over.SplatterTone wrote:You should buy a telescope.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
