I'm not, thankfully. It does cause "interest" among my wife's family when they come in from Dallas, and they see a 27-year-old Sony KX-1901 as our main TV in the kitchen while Kay could "afford" any set she wants. Her family has to keep up with the Jones', and they all have plasma TVs, and the newest Mercedes with the best golf clubs in the trunk. (We have wisely-purchased used cars, and no golf clubs... Her family hates my influence on her  )
