Speaking of the Welch Glad your back Eric!!!
A defining number will be what those digital prices are in a few months-
November, the Holiday price rush and then that will be what you could get
digital for in the "last" millennium. They could go down by a real chunk and
other options be introduced but afordability for me and the major consumer base
might be in another 4 or 5 years down the road. That puts my digital black
obelisk arriving at 2004!
