Couches and Coffee didn't work for Media Play.


Our company needs realistic goals. Downloadable media via kiosk, customer realistic selection of confection, New POS systems, late fees, lower prices and porn.

I meant trying to rebrand us into something better. If we fail at TVs and DVD players, there's always books
