Get off your high horse, the man asked a legitimate question in the
proper newsgroup. All your inane response did was derail the thread
into a string of rubbish that only served to increase the noise to
signal ratio in the group. Small wonder why so few people post here
anymore.

Gregg is very good at derailing legitimate threads. You should see him
in action in other newsgroups where he has teamed with a bunch of trolls
who already have the destruction of two newsgroups (that I know of) to
their credit. He regards this newsgroup as "home turf" and has asked his
troll mates to stay away so he can retain a "clean image" here.

"so far"?? You may soon have a problem with him. He has just invited his
troll friends over here from rec.knives, s.c.t. and rec.scuba.

You'll find your "friend" Gregg is a two faced jerk.

Gregg's not real bright however as he doesn't yet realise that if he
hangs around turds, soon he will smell like a turd, an inevitable
consequence.

No. Everything was fine, I said I apologized, you looking to fight or
something? I'd rather not Priest.

I agree whole heartedly. My Sony 2010 performed very poorly in the
shower. First, the sound went, becoming very muffled. After a few
minutes, the radio stopped working entirely. I was surprised to find
there were **NO** drain holes in the bottom of the case.

It's sad when Sony can't make a radio that is at least as dependable as
a bar of soap.

Can you be more specific? There are a lot of countries here, and what might
be a good buy in one may be unfixable or unobtainable in another.
