Home Theater Survey
Derek answered a bunch of questions posed by an "international research group" that cold-called us Friday night. All of the questions were about multimedia systems and gadgets and computers with DVD drives. It was Derek's ideal survey. He reads Home Theater Magazine on the train, could easily write the articles in the same magazine, and lusts after projectors and high definition TVs and various other gadgets I don't understand. Given his job, he could outfit us with all sorts of stuff, but when asked about the size of his TV, he answered: "A 20-inch, I'm sorry to say." Poor Derek. Even more shame ensued when he was asked if he owned a home theater system. "Well I have the sound system but I can't say I have the screen." His chance to shine came and went because a) I don't like big TVs and b) he understands that and gave his 27-inch TV away to make me happy. That seems worthy of a 10-year investment in real estate together, doesn't it?
