In Akihabara, In Laox? I need a new computer, or maybe two computers (a laptop and a mini notebook). I really have a big disappointed with salesmen in Japan. There are not capable of selling anything or even explaining basic things. UsuallyI find out myself what I need, and then I yell in the salesman's ears: "I want to buy this, NOW!" or they wouldn't even sell it to me. Are you different? Apparently, yes. I will come to see you, if you tell me where you are doing your SONY sales training. Where are you salesman? In Akihabara, In Laox?

Yes, I'm in a Laox in Akihabara -- I'm on the 6th floor of the main building (*not* the Duty Free shop). I'm usually over in the video camera corner, but I roam the whole floor, so I can definitely hook you up with a laptop and toys. Sony is coming out with a few updates on the notebook line next week, so if you can swing by except Mondays and Thursdays, which are my days off, I'll be happy to help you out.

I will visit Laox Saturday or Sunday 28/29 June. Probably during morning hours to avoid the crowd. Hope to see you! That’s perfect. I will visit Laox Saturday or Sunday 28/29 June.

It's too bad Sony uses crap for LCDs in their equipment. They should hook up with that bitchin' firm Samsung and truly hook a brotha' up!

The acronym is OLED. That's as much as I feel safe stating :) Oh yeah, and Samsung is "the enemy". We don't give business to enemies :) Chris: there is a rumored reason as to why Sony is slowing their LCD efforts. The acronym is OLED. That’s as much as I feel safe stating :)
