Let me begin by saying: I Love My Wife. She's great and when we got married, I got the better end of the bargin. And I love her folks. Her dad and I get along great and are close enough on religion and politics that no feuds have yet begun.
But I hate his taste in electronics. Computers, cameras, and home theater stuff. Its not that they are THE worst, but its just that I would never buy those brands or models. He's outgrown 3 PCs in the last 6 years - I've only retired one. He's a Nikon and Sharp kind of guy, I'm a Minolta and Canon dude. His is Pioneer receivers, I'm Adcom seperates (and eyeing tubes).
Well for fathers day, my wife bought me (with the assistance of her dad) a GO-VIDEO DVP855 DVD(CDRW and MP3) player. oh boy
. We have been using my laptop in the living room this winter which is not the best way, but had the element of "poor young married couple" fun to it. I was saving up for a player that was a good audio source. We've already got a cheap CD player that I agreed to because at the time we were without one and she wanted a carasel model and she was the one who would be using it the most.
And I haven't heard it yet either, so mayby I'll be surprised.
I'm going to keep it, this much I've decided. Shinny aluminum paint and all. And she got it for $90 and there's a $20 rebate, so it will be $70 in the end, which is great considering that today the best price I could find on the net was $109 (she got it at RatShack). But how can I tell her that if she is going to get me something like that, take me with her or at least DON'T take dad?
Any suggestions?
(and remember: I LOVE MY WIFE.)
