I still can't believe it!


I saw an advertising for the Toshiba TLP-MT3 for 3718.38 Euros (21% VAT included) on the well know (here) supermarket MaxiGB (recently bought by the french Carrefour).


So, from now, while buying your meat, vegetables and potatoes, think building your Home Theater! Our hobby is conquering the mass.


Amazing...


Untill yesterday, it was quite difficult to find shops selling a minimum range of projectors in this country.

Which Carrefour did you see it at?

I saw the ad on the Carrefour/MaxiGB folder which I think is valid for all stores. I got the folder on Kraainem's supermarket (near Brussels).

This may the start of a trend, the local Fry's chain hardly sells any food now; the markup on projectors is considerably higher than the markup on Brussel Sprouts...

Perhaps Taco Bell or McDonalds would have a drive-in window and would sell the LT150 what ever it is. It seems to me they were giving away on 42st and Broadway subway station.

mpg,


Fry's does sell a lot of "junk food" - candy, chips, snacks,

soda....these line the approach to the checkout counters.


Good thing too - if you've ever spent a few "days" waiting

in line to checkout at Fry's - then it's good that they

don't let their customers starve.


You never know what supermarkets are going to be selling.

I was checking out at the local Safeway - and at the head

of the checkout counter where they have the daily specials -

was a big stack of boxes containing DVD players!


I can just imagine someone getting a call from their spouse

at work - "Honey, on your way home can you stop by the

market and pickup a quart of milk and a DVD player?"

My post was a bit of a joke. For the benefit of our overseas members, the Fry family shut down their grocery stores a few years back, and reopened as a kind of semiconductor supermarket. At the beginning, it was a geek's dream, I remember going in to buy some RAM chips for my Apollo DN660 computer, and having a very pleasant afternoon buying other assorted odds and ends.

There is still a "Fry's Way" street in Concord, California, although the family has yet to reopen the adjoining store... I think it's leased as a shoe store.

Also, the local Albertson's supermarket was selling Lexmark inkjet printers last fall for about $50.

Next thing you know, AVScience will have a javascript box on their sales page saying "Would you like fries with that projector?"
