My reply to the analog TV hater!!!


Marilyn,

I for one will NEVER own a digital television. I am a TV collector and love my vintage television sets. I will never give them up. I was sort of offended by your "last granny" hurdle comment. Many of us who own the "old fashioned" analog televisions really enjoy them. Many younger folks do not even know or realize what a marvel TV was. I would suppose that you are fairly young to make comments like that. If you were older you would appreciate the "old fashioned" technology. It is amazing that folks do not demand more for their money. It is real insulting to even look at those sterile plastic televisions. Do you really think they are worth thousands of dollars? I often wonder when the environmentalists are going to stand up and demand that they be made of recyclable materials. WHY? The newer sets are made to be used and tossed. Ever pay to get a new set repaired? The repair will cost more that the set is to buy. One concern that many have not addressed with the new Digital television. I can't wait till somebody comes up with a damaging virus for them. That is going to be real interesting. I am going to send your article to my fellow TV collectors. I would suppose that you may hear from a few more of us.
