What's your profession? Age?

I am 34, a hi-end product sales specialist/consultant wannabe. That would be my dream job but reality dictates that I am a purchaser of computer and electronic parts.

Retired - 48. Did thirty years in the USN.
I'm now an assistant football coach and spend the rest of my time golfing.

I work in the cirulation and classified department for our daily newspaper. I'm ##@%# yrs. old(can you tell I'm a female?) My system isn't finished yet, but so far I have spent about $8,000. I will probably have about $12-15,000 in it when done. It takes me forever to decide on a product to buy, so I'll probably be 100 yrs. old by the time I get everything bought and won't have any hearing left.

Age 39, and will be 40 next April (and pretty damn proud of it too). I am Computer Support Specialist. I currently make about $50K a year, and I am not married, nor do I have any children. I guess when you don't have a spouse or any kids to deal with, then you can probably afford this hobby.

I've been a Computer Support Specialist for six years, and have been an audiophile for almost twenty-five years.

And last (if not least), I don't have an $80K system either. Cannot afford it. I have rent (and saving up for a mortgage), an automobile, auto insurance, credit cards, food, and utilities to deal with. So, that pretty much precludes me from getting an $80K to $100K audio setup.

So then, my audio setup retails for $7K, and my home theater retails for another $3K.

I guess that puts me lower on the totem pole, right (LOL)???

Now that we have all your careers and ages, how about downloading a current photograph of yourself so we can see what you look like. Have you ever talked to someone on the phone for years in a business relationship and then you finally meet them and your jaw drops because they didn't look, even a bit, like you had envisioned them ? I once had a business relationship with a woman who had the most seductive voice that if I weren't married, I'd take her out just to have her talk to me. When I finally met her, well, I was embarrassed, needless to say, when I was trying to decide which was prettier, her or my dog's rear end...
