A few weeks ago I had a rep for a Japanese tourist agency come to my ticket desk to have a flight changed for a client.... At the end of the action I had a reaction........... I asked the gentleman, the rep, that when he comes back from japan to bring me ---if possible---- to bring me back a GF1000, he hesitated and then asked what that was, I told him and he said, "Ahh, yes! I remember those type of radios."


He came back today, he brought a new client for a new date change for an out bound flight.... I told him no worries, but that I would only do the date change if he had brought me a GF1000! He paused and then with a smile he remembered and said, with a big smile, "Oh, no! Sorry."

I, for some reason, brought my GF9191H and had it in the back office playing some tunes... I, spontaneously, told him and his client -Japanese as well- to come on back to show them something.... I said, "You remember I mentioned that I collected 'Boomboxes'?" I opened the door and he saw the 9191... his eyes (and I loved it) opened really wide, the jaw dropped, and he walked in, without hesitating, towards the 9191 and said, "Yes!! I remember these, WOW! I remember bla, bla, bla (the Bla, Bla, Blas were more nice words that I do not remember because i was very happily surprised by his reaction!!!!!!!)"

Voila

Spreading the love, Brian! Spreading the love!! Maybe it'll work out that you do indeed get your GF-1000!

It's the butterfly effect!

The theory where the effect of a butterfly somewhere in europe flying around ad flapping its wings can end up causing a hurricane somewhere els across the world.

Maybe your little scene may start something and soon enough you'll have loads of japanese folk turning up with all their unwanted radios!

are u a travel agent too? (i own a travel agency here in Florida)

Great story Brian.
Now I'm wondering if you started something.

Great story indeed! Dont we all love showing off our collections!?

With out bragging........ YEAH!!!!!!

Trying to spread that love...... Asking the butterfly to flap harder.... Starting all I can!!!!!!!!

Now, after seeing your Sharp, if he happens to come across the GF-1000, he's gonna keep it for himself.

Wow Brian , this reaction for only A 9191?
What would have happened when you had your 777 or VZ with you in Ireland?

I had the same reaction when I re-discovered that boomboxes were not dead it was like finding a long lost treasure.

hey if gets a gf-1000 maybe hell trade it for your 9191...

Now , that would be a nice trade

Well..... Eh....... Mmmmmmmmmm..........I do not think so!


I would rather wait 1000 years for a 1000 than sell or trade any Bboxes out of my collection!!!!!!!
