It's bloody weird in the US

There is a Samsung salesroom next door to CNN in New York so you would
expect a lot of net savvy geeky types and blokes in suits etc. - and I have
to say they have some awesome hi-def stuff and pcket sized PCs - but the
only people in there are tourists and Harlem type boyz from the hood

Imagine being able to afford what you want but not understanding what you
are looking at
