I have a couple pieces of Sony consumer stuff around here - a small
boombox with decent sound quality and stereo line in, and an alarm
clock. They've outlasted many other such non-Sony stuff I've had over
the years.

I have been thinking about other Sony gear I've had - one of the best
monitors I ever had was a big Trinitron monitor on a Sun workstation.
Absolutely stunning graphics back in the early 80s. It's too bad that
their ham-fisted attempts at customer control (along with the standard
music industry panic over losing the traditional distribution model)
cause a lot of people to choose other companies to do business with.
"I said, 'Ha ha!'"
- Nelson Muntz Sony became sort of evil when it turned from an
(excellent)
equipment manufacturer into a media multinational, with
things like the CD rootkit and SACD as the result.
The only part of Sony making money is its insurance division. The
equipment and media divisions are both running losses.
