Great Read for those who were teens of the 1980's and 90's

By Ed Waggener

Alan W. Reed sends a link to a story which will resonate with many teens of the 1980's and 1990's who are now rejoicing that the owners of Columbia House - the mail order CD club, have filed for bankruptcy. The story by Jack Hamilton is at Columbia House Offered Eight CDs for a Penny, but Its Life Lessons Were Priceless.

Reed writes, "This happened to me and many other teens, it was definitely an early "life lesson."

The "life lesson" was in the fine print in Columbia Club's too-good-to-be-true offers and the nightmares those who succumbed to enticing offers. - Anyone want to buy a time share?
