EDITED: Philips product experience

[Hi Ho]

OK, guys, I'll put forth a little defense of Philips, as I'm a 17-year employee. Philips is a Dutch company that's about 150 years old, and consists of several fairly separate divisions: Medical (which I work for) designs, manufactures, installs, supports, and educates technologists in cutting-edge CT, MRI, Ultrasound, X-Ray, and Nuclear Medicine systems. They also make monitoring and cardiovascular monitoring, as well as Medical IT systems.

I should have been more specific. I was talking about their A/V equipment. I have no experience with their other branches, except my Sonicare toothbrush which has been working fine for over 4 years, and I have no reason to believe that they don't make good medical equipment and light bulbs. Their A/V equipment is not up to those standards.
