I have to disagree. Apple has axed the optical drive from every product in their lineup with the exception of the non-retina 13" and 15" MacBook Pro. It's kind of assumed now that no optical drive is the norm.

Charles Eames is pretty dead. Herman Miller is the licensed manufacturer, so those are considered "originals". Anything made by another company would be a "replica"

Going to have to agree with Victorious on this one. The last generation of Elite plasmas were the best then, and somehow still are. Everybody is focused on 3D and thin bezels, and not putting much effort into picture quality. It's a shame, really. I moved my 50" Elite into the bedroom because I couldn't bare to…

Um... Yes, and here's why.

Oh, you're some sort of NFC evangelist. Got it.

Gotcha! None taken. Was just confused.

Since you're so adamant about this, what is the benefit of using a debit card versus a credit card? (Hint: there isn't one)
