I worked in Conde Nast when I was single in NYC. That is the company that owns half of the overpriced glossy magazines (vogue, mademoiselle, etc - the other half is owned by their sister company, but that is another story). Each floor of the building is dedicated to a different magazine and the entire building has almost nothing buy models and photographers. The staff itself is also 90% women, who having those tall models around them day in and day out makes them want to dress and be like them. Anyways, when I went there for interview I thought I was in heaven. I had never been interviewed by tall beautiful woman in blue leather pants before. Sadly, once I got in I realized that the old engineering maxim was right. The product of beauty times intelligent is constant :( The girls were nice to look at, but at some point in time you want to have a conversation and very few of them could carry their own.

Loads of great musics, very nice! Looking forward to my retiring date so as to have some time to indulge myself in music, perhaps to get a degree in it.

I have 9 speakers in a 16x16 room. It's setup as an ATMOS theater with 5 surround, 4 ceiling speakers, and a subwoofer. I only have a couple of blueray movies that will actually run the whole configuration, but I figure there will be more eventually. I put them in during an extensive remodel and there wouldn't have been much chance to run the wires later. My wife said she didn't care how many speakers there were so long as there were no wires in sight.
