Pay attention LeRoy.
Wal-Fart won't install. That's were you come in.
As with your Sat Installations...get in on the ground floor.
Canada is going to be a little different than the US...and I don't
follow the HDTV Dooms Day discussion.
You remember when TV/Cable went to CATV. None of the TV's were
prepared...Companies added TV\CATV switches to their Tuners or Menus.
Revamped the circuits. And then only went to Ch69. Billions of Jerrold
Converters we sold. Brand new Industry.
Now....this may be a difference between US and Canada...I don't
think that the Canadian Government will allow the "Industry" to dictate,
to our Seniors that they need to go and purchase a new Receiver, because
the transmission standard changed from (date-date).
Not to be political...but sometimes business rides too close to
"the powers that be" and through lobbying..blah...blah..another session.
As usual...I needed to say..."Burning the Flag"?
The Powers that Be..;-) Decided this was a big issue?
Needed to be protected by a "Law"?
Canadians are sort of laid back, on most issues
(political)...but we don't need a bunch of "high paid" politicians to
tell us, it's not acceptable.
And what is this?
Three Kids locking themselves in a Trunk..."No Foul Play Suspected"?????
Police checked the car? Failed to check the Trunk? I may just
be watching too much CNN. (chuckle) One for you Douggie.

Wal-Fart will have to GIVE them away,...in order to save face.
They might even have to break into thir "Piggy Bank", or "Petty cash
box".
