If you want to compliment sony for their old products, write their general customer service department a letter. it is seriously bad form to write the CEO of a multi-national company for a general comment. |

If the MD5000's are indeed better than the Sony R-10's, he could make a big statement. |

In terms of writing to the CEO of Sony, nikongod said it was seriously bad form. I understand his point of view but I also know that a letter to the customer service department will get absolutely nowhere. In fact, a letter to the CEO of Sony will most likely head straight to the customer service department anyway. I'd rather take my chances with the man at the top. But I liked your take on doing business with Sony. Want to back me? |
