 I was surprised to find the Tivoli line, several models, at Target
 yesterday.
When I bought mine several years ago (I hate to brag but I have one
 autographed by Henry Kloss, tee hee!) I had to go to a high end audio 
dealer.

This has really been a bummer. We had five Recepters here at the station (a
 couple privately purchased).
Two DOA, two OK and one unknown (we're saving it for marriage). Not a good
 ratio.
In an effort to make an HD receiver a friendly concept to the wife, I
 brought one home to show
her. It was one of the DOA. The mission was unsuccessful.

We can invent an iPod that plays back Johnny Cash's Hurt video on demand
(and I remember when you
had to get a special box to get MTV in stereo on your "Quazar by Motorola"
TV- like the UHF converter days :)
so I'm sure someone will come out with the proto-type JATO-Elephanto.
Every day I'm reminded that the C5 Galaxy does get airborne.
