I did not know how much they made, but also I wasn't so much thinking about the house signs. In particular I was thinking about the Wireless Giant on 1600 N. Once I saw a kid shaking a piece of _carpet_ over by the mall outside a carpet store. It just makes me wonder why everyone is so desperate for advertising they have to have people wave stuff out in the hot sun. I wouldn't mind working for 12/hr as a teenager listineng to my ipod in the sun. Not something I would do now :) Von Fugal
