Earl:
I share your frustration. I even recall as recent as within the last 6
months that I've ads in the Sunday paper about a "Dish" system that "pulls
signals out of the air". The ad goes on to claim that "No cable needed",
works with all televisions, clear reception, blah, blah, blah. Anyhow the
"Dish" system sells for $29.95, limit 2 per household. (What BS!!)
It makes me sick to see some jack___ outfit taking advantage of folks by
disguising rabbit ears as some sort of high tech dish system. But we're told
that that's the price you pay to be in the free enterprise system. That's
why it doesn't hurt to ask around like Steve has.
What bothers me though is the radio ads for gold futures, grain futures,
cell phone number blocks, etc. that warn that time is limited, get in on the
ground floor etc. With a $5K investment you can double your money in 6 mo.
or less. How does one know when something is legit. I guess if you live by
the creed of "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", I think
we'll all be fine.
Sorry 'bout the non-tech content. Have a good one.
