Whatever you may think of Bose audio quality it is sad to see 1,000 jobs go. The audio/video industry is going to get hit no softer than others. Remember though, if you still have your job, which is still about 90% of the American work force, all 135 million of you, do us a favor and start shopping! Crashing a ‘going out of buiseness’ sale isn’t as good as shopping now and helping to keep folks and families employeed.
