["Video Bob" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually,. you did attack me personally.
You wrote me a personal note to tell me that I was an "idiot" if I recall 
correctly.

Sure, I will address you and the group.

I am self employed at the moment with several positions.
I have been an eBay Power Seller for some time now (about 7 years) and have 
been the subject of several news stories because of it. The Dallas Morning 
News, a major local paper did a full page article on me about entrepreneurs 
like myself who have learned not to punch the time clock and how to make 
$100K+ per year while chilling at home.
Since television is my back ground I spend spare time working on television 
shows in which I produce such as "NWA-SOUTHWEST Wrestling", "Videobob's 
Stupid Movie Of The Week" and "ComiXspotlight". I do a little stand up 
comedy on the weekends sometimes, and I like to
travel on my motorcycle (Harley Davidson Electra-Glide Ultra-Classic) when I 
feel like it.
I am working on a new show for SPEED called "Wrenching and Riding" which 
will be a new
motorcycle show....and I am gearing up to do a major documentary about 
DELOREANS for the Discovery Channel.

However, when I did "punch the clock" I had a lot of technical jobs.
In the early 90's I co-owned a TV/VCR repair shop where I repaired VCR's.
For a while I worked for GATEWAY Computers as an upper level tech support as
an A+ certified technician.
Later I worked as Chief Engineer for the "American Independent NetworK" and 
handled
over 50 station affiliates. I was in control of all the productions, as well 
as designing and building
a completely automated digital on air system.
When I was laid off from AIN along with 50 other people, I decided to stay 
out on my own.
That was back in April 2000 and I have been doing 3 times better ever since.

I build and sell custom news production vehicles at the rate of about one 
per year on my spare time.
I also have my own line of power supplies that I sell to the video 
production industry.
I do voice over work for radio and television, and chances are you may have 
heard my voice on
a commercial or two.
I work closely with the "Urban Television Network" and KHPK-28, a local 
station here in Dallas
where I do a lot of their production for them, making commercials, etc.
I am a video editor, web page author and my list of hats is long.
I have been on local radio shows, the Howard Stern show, Extra, Dateline and 
featured
in GEAR magazine as having one of the "funniest cable access shows ever".
(I ran a cable access show back in the early 90's that got a lot of 
attention).

I attend the "National Association of Broadcasters" (NAB) meeting each year,
along with the "Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers" (SMPTE)
and am a member of the "Texas Association of Film and Tape Professionals" 
(TAFTP)
and attend other engineering type functions.
My opinions and ideas are usually respected in other forums, however it
seems that I have not yet earned my "Delorean Degree in Engineering" yet.

With all that said, YES, I know how to hook up a car radio.
The installation is ultimately your responsibility.
My harness adapter is not a direct plug in.
All it does is give you the adapter head that will let you plug in one end 
to the factory harness
and the other end to be wired into your head amp unit.
It is not that difficult, you have a ground, two positive power's, and the 
speakers.
Easy as pie for anyone who can follow the directions of the manual supplied 
with the radio
and my directions that come with the harness that will identify the 
connections.

I hope this explains it all to you and everyone else.

Since I know that people will want to know more about these shows I have 
mentioned
I would like to give you the links to the shows, and maybe you can pick me 
up in your town?
I am aired in syndication in over 70 cities!

Thanks.,
