A tale of two To****ba's --
About 4 years ago, I bought a 61" Std-Def. Rear-Proj. TV via
the net from some no-name Brooklyn ****pper, it took 2 weeks
to arrive and has worked fine ever since.  No issues.  A friend
of mine went to Best Buy and brought home the same TV, but
slightly smaller, the same week, for more money.  His stopped
working about 6 months ago, out of warranty, and BB charged
$100 to tell him that it wasn't worth fixing.  IOW, its like a box
of chocolates.  YMMV.
