For its time, it was very clear, great color, so-so volume. But I still have it to this day. At MY house.<br /><br />Since then I purchased a 45" LG LED flatscreen for the wife, purchased HD channels for her, then recently purchased a Blu-ray player when her old DVD player died.<br /><br />I won't spend ANY money to bring back ANY TV. It is what it is, they are what they are. America is simply no longer a Player. If you want a TV, you buy what you can.<br /><br />America simply won't "get it" until it completely tanks, fiscally and industrially.<br /><br />It is what it is.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-74685011612008499302012-01-16T20:56:07.715-08:002012-01-16T20:56:07.715-08:00Your words: "But the memory of that move make...Your words: "But the memory of that move makes me realize how quickly time has passed and how old this set is." <br /><br />Is actually telling you how old YOU are...all that wheezing and panting....<br /><br />I thought I could easily lift the old tv off the tall chest in the corner of our bedroom.<br /><br />The only thing I accomplished was ME crashing backwards onto the bed with the "small yet built like a bunker" tv on MY chest.THINGS YOU'D NEVER GUESS ABOUT MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627183704637063465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-41775191998259260532012-01-16T02:50:36.305-08:002012-01-16T02:50:36.305-08:00We have done the same in Australia - willingly thr...We have done the same in Australia - willingly throwing away our manufacturing base. The government said we were to become a smarter, white collar work force. Except that those jobs are also furiously being offshored too.

This will bite our children or grand-children on their seats. We've tried to become the managerial class of the world and have only cultivated a disdain for the "sweaty" work that oils the gears of commerce.

It seems like it gets harder every day, some new EPA regulation or city or county ordinance. It is almost like "they" (the powers that be) want me to quit, which I don't understand since I provide them the "financial engine" that finances their cause....My conclusion is that subjects with no skills are easier to control since they cannot do for themselves. I am becoming more and more concerned every day, the "SMARTER" people are winning, but they still can't fix their own houses, cars or computers.....much less FLY something thank god.<br /><br />wksaz<br /><br />P.S.

Once the wife and I got it on the floor I had to get a dolly to get it out of the house.Ed Bonderenkahttp://apps.bonderenka.com/Blog/noreply@blogger.com
