My parents were on the cutting edge, straight up TI-99/4A baby.

Wuhoo! And of course, pics or ban.

I'm most concerned about that as well and that's what is keeping me from pulling the trigger. I've already heard from one user that it's range is like less than a foot, which is unacceptable.

Speaking of good tools, I'm thinking about ordering one of these - Tenma Tenma Solder Fume Extractor With Carbon Filter 110VAC Soldering Equipment & Solder at Markertek.com - anyone ever use something like it?

I'll add to Mr. Monkey's musings... Initially I was pretty excited for the pad, as a content consumption device. However, the more I have thought about it, considered its use and abilities I'm almost certainly going to wait to see how the HTML5/Flash battle goes. A big chunk of what I'd want to do with the pad is to use it as a small TV essentially via sources like Hulu and downloaded content. It's unclear to me how Apple will either replicate this ability since it won't support Hulu to start with or how I'd easily be able to view content I download. I don't want to have to transcode and sync everything I download and it clearly isn't going to allow me to download a zipped movie file directly onto it and unzip and watch it. That's kind of a big suck for me.

The key point here is whether the Amex card was corporate card issued to her by Koss or if it was her personal card and in no way directly associated with Koss. If it's the latter and Amex allowed it to be paid with Koss funds clearly being used for personal purchases than I think lawyers are going to have a field day fighting with it. Ultimately I think it's still Koss who dropped the ball but red flags should have been going up everywhere.

Shocking, a credit card acting like a douchebag.

This is the one I have, I paid significantly less for it. Ungar 1095 Flameless Heat Gun edit - here it is, a bit cheaper - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=360-390%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&FTR=&CFID=23003351&CFTOKEN=99491369

I'm putting the word out, if any of you ever see one of these douchebags flip these HF-2s I'm counting on you to let me know. I give you my most solemn vow that justice will be swift, it will be righteous, and it will be without mercy.

Bells on, I'm there.

Andrew can have a nice time out too, jackass.

In truth they use a threaded comply tip for ease of installation in the field.

Who's the second poster, I banned the first one for 24hrs for massive douchery.

They are mil-spec and therefore fasten directly to my brain.

I have the premier sponsors forum 100% muted on my version of Head-Fi so I didn't have to see any of that crap.

Mike, If you keep the 302 and need a balanced set of cables, just ask.

Shit Jeff, that sucks. In IEM news, the Mil Spec IEMs have been born.

IIRC the bias on the Koss amp is 600V, compared to the stock Stax bias of 580V and I'm not sure the squealing issue was ever traced to bias mismatch.

Took the morning off to go to gymnastics with Lily. Had a blast acting like a 5 year old. Now I'm at work, which is significantly less fun. Pisser about the travel BS Stretch. Here's to hoping you get home soon.

Me neither, I'm guessing it's just like the HF-1 stuff where his site got bombed and crashed.

Happy Birthday, Dan!

Suck it Stefan

Baked some chocolate chip banana muffins, we'll see how they came out in a little bit.

You don't need to spend a grand on an amp. You could do pretty well (in my book anyway) for about half that.
