Anyone have any links to the 'Bose fiasco'? Every since I saw what
speakers they were using in their 901 systems back in the '70's, I've
avoided Bose.
Thanks....Steve

Remember the Bose fiasco? If it were not for the Internet a lot of people
would think that they are the bees knees. But that being said a lot of people
still think that Bose is the best. I really think it comes down to personality.
I do extensive research on everything I want to buy and make my own decisions.

I totally understand but at the same time I don't see what harm Facebook can do

my pics. I never put anything über personal on Facebook.
Even amazon tracks my purchases in sneaky ways and sends me advertisement
emails. I just choose to ignore them.
I think that most people (yourself quite possibly excluded) are completely
unaware of the subconscious ways advertisers market to them, and therefore any
ammunition you give them makes it that much easier for them to get to you. Now
sure, they probably can only get you to buy something you don't need, but they
might be able to get you to vote differently than might otherwise vote.
