I sat there wondering how they would act if they knew I was just a loser mechanic who saved up for NINE YEARS to buy this friggin thing? It was a once in a lifetime thing, but it was fun to pretend I was rich.

Saved for 9 years and went out and bought a new Mac...I'm proud of ya. Do they send you a Christmas Card?

I've never even seen a Mac, and only one Dynaco 70. Things like that don't even exist around here. A few years ago I called THE high end store in Columbia to see if they worked on vacuum tube gear. They told me that they didn't deal with anything like that, and didn't know anyone who did, but they had heard that vacuum tube equipment sounded pretty good.

About 4 years ago I was dragged out to go Christmas shopping with the wife.
It had been a while since my last haircut, like 6 months and it was raining out
so I put on my hunting boots and Camo Army field jacket. Walked into Best
Buy to look through the CD's. Those guys were so nice to me. Every single
employee asked me at least twice if I needed help. Now that was service.

I love a good Christmas story.
