I particularly dread the arrival of the blue ones; I fear that I will feel compelled to own one.

Stopped in a B and O store today. My girlfriend saw the Beolit 12 and liked the looks of it very much. She thought it would be perfect to take with her to exercise classes she teaches.

Saw it today also, VERY expensive here in AUS (AU$990) compared with the USA (US$799), which is a shame.

I do really like its sound!

Well, taxes are not 250 USD...

It is just the expensive air plane ticket that gets them over from china to Australia - one by one...
To the States they take the boat with containers...

Being an old duffer like Jeff, I can't think of an application (in my life) where this is the only or the best or even the best looking option. Nor am I keen on the supposed youth friendly "forward base" presentation - in years gone by they were called boom boxes! - although I am prepared to change my mind when I hear it.

But then again I've retired my (free) iPhone too. Maybe I am an untrendy Neanderthal!Erm

Remind me every Wednesday to stay off your lawn.  😎
