The 80s and early 90s were fun that way. I started back around '85 buying stuff for pennies from a neighbor who hauled the trash for the local electronics boutique and Apple dealer. I had a room full of JBL stuff alone. The Apple stuff started coming a year later. What a racket. LOL
I agree. I used to really dig their cupcakes but damn, they taste like sawdust now. My mate brought some home a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Wall Street looted the old company, then blamed mom and dad employee... and the public bought it. Well, the new owners can kiss my shiny metal ass before they or their spinoffs get another dime of my money.
"But officials in some of those cities say that driving around in a pickup truck with hundreds of gallons of gasoline might not be safe. "

"Also, Yahoo revealed Mayer received a significant pay cut last year. Her "reported pay" was $36 million, but her "realized pay" is closer to $14 million."

Been there. Gave Lexmark International a decade of my life working in Software Dev. Then in 2009 they closed our lab and let us all go after they off-shored our work to Cebu. Do you know how hard it is for a fifty-year-old to get work in this field these days?
I'll never forgive those fuckers for what they did to us.
