I haven't been able to hear the whine of a crt TV in years. We must lose the ability to hear high frequencies or something with age. I've mentioned that whine to people in the past and no one has ever seemed to know what I was talking about.

A complex machine which conveys a full color motion image, with sound, to an audience hundreds of miles away.
Don't know about you guys, but the CRT is dying at an alarmingly fast rate, and I'm going to have one around for the rest of my life, even if it's a late-model-BPC set.
Standard-def is fine for me, considering how little I watch.  |
