no way - a knife & fork is much cheaper than a CD

you'll *never* need to replace a laser in a knife & fork

Couldn't help showing you how poor that argument was for buying a CD - don't take up politics

have to agree - this being a pet rant of mine - i still can't beleive how it was legal to stitch up so many people based on ignorance
likewise 99.99999999% of consumers being stitched with HD TV today *think* everything on it will be HD (nip down to Currys and ask them) - if there was any legal obligation to tell them the truth (nothing is in HD without an HD source they haven't got) they just wouldn't buy one
it is no different from mis-sold endowment mortgages and i anticipate a legal backlash - some companies are anticipating this too since they are now advertising in-store about HD source requirments for HD TV
