As an electronic swami of sorts, I get quite a few phone calls from friends, friends of friends, and strangers who've been given my phone number. These calls all center around the big question: "I've got the money, I want to buy a new machine, but I don't know which one to get!"

As an electronic swami of sorts, I get quite a few phone calls from friends, friends of friends, and strangers who've been given my phone number. These calls all center around the big question: "I've got the money, I want to buy a new machine, but I don't know which one to get!"
I drag out my crystal, consult the entrails of my favorite circuit board, and slyly ask how much the caller has to spend. If it is a reasonable amount in relation to the machine desired, I suggest the caller buy any machine in that price category that he/she thinks looks good.
"But what about the sound? Or the picture? Or isn't Sony better than Panasonic?" moans the caller, not at all convinced that buying a machine should be based on the color scheme of the machine case.
