[Electronics-Talk] It's a Sony!

[Arlene]

Peter, will there be an extra charge for the geek squad to come out and set 
it up for you and Mary. I'm so happy for you and Mary finding such a great 
sounding tv. If you can please tell us the model number, and as you can 
please let us know how it is to work the tv. Thank you.

Arlene
