Let's say that you go to Best Buy looking for a DVD player you saw advertised. When you arrive at the store the clerk tells you that they are out of that particular item and will not have any in until the next week. But.... you can take the highest quality VCR they have for exactly the same price. Do you take the VCR? ------------------ The Wizard when asked about his WWJD bracelet: "It's my good luck charm.

The problem with your analogy is that they take your money anyway (if you don't make a selection, you forfeit the pick which has value) and next week turns out, in actuality, to be next YEAR. What I would do, and what I think the Rockets did, is to forego the DVD and get a new television. It will make the DVD player that you eventually get even more enjoyable. ------------------ There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.
Well, I'd take the VCR. You can't record shows on DVD, thus making it useless to you. Of course, DVD is so much better on paper, with the fancy audio and all, but I'd stick with the genuine method which has been more succesful in the past. But, in the long run, you'll be much happier with the VCR. ------------------ RKMAN President of the "Swoopes is the hottest woman in the WNBA" club.
How about this analogy? You already have a 4x4 pickup in the garage that you will be paying off for the next 6 years. Sometimes it works well sometimes it doesn't. Your wife needs a new car, do you buy another expensive but one dimensional truck or a less expensive, fuel-efficient, more versatile, but less flashy mini-van?
Depends how well you get long with your wife. If you think you might be getting a divorce sell the 4 X4 buy a used Corrola and a new DVD player and put the extra money in secret account. ------------------
