And to think during my company's massive layoffs during the early 2000's, I almost fell for Conaways bullshit line and almost invested $10,000 in a sure thing. I wish I'd heard of Apple then.

Ended up using that money to scrape by during the recession.

Also bought my first stereo from there in 1969. All wood speaker enclosures and cabinet, made in 'Merica.
