Ignorant people.

[bre's dad]

my first tv was a b&w RCA (15-19" I think) portible my dad had fixed. I don't remember if he got it from grandma when she got a color tv of not, not that it matters. it was an old one even in the mid 70's. In the early 80's, someone gave my dad a 12-14" GE color tv that was broke. He fixed it (and many times thereafter) and gave it to me. It lasted until my parents bought a 19" Emerson for my high school graduation. I was in hog heaven, as it had a remote and my parent's tv didn't!!! It died a horrid and untimely death 6 years later.

I was in hog heaven when I was in college and found an old vcr w/ no remote at Radio Shack for something like $20... they were cleaning out the back of the store and found it. Good vcr too, not stereo, but good picture.

I was in Target awhile back and a mother was tv shopping for her kid. She was looking at your run of the mill 20" w/ built in dvd player for about $150. The kid said "No... I want this!!!" pointing at an lcd tv. Made me appreciate that old B&W RCA.
