I Was Hoping That This Would Be A Roundie!

"Ancient" from my point of view is a matter of opinion, ancient could be something dating back 100 years, 50 years, 25 years or even 10 years. In the case of this TV set, it would of been made around the early/mid 1990s so it would be over 15 years old so to many people it can be considered as ancient. To my opinion, seeing we're now about probably 10 years into the digital 16:9 flat screen TV era, I consider that set pretty dated but not very ancient. For me to consider a TV set as "ancient" it has to be over 30 years old. On the other hand if I were to look at a computer made around the same time as that TV say an IBM 486 DX2-66 I would consider such a computer pretty ancient as computer technology has come a LONG way increasing in processing power exponentially!!! Anyways to us this set is hardly ancient but to those not familiar with the history of television it is because it's made over 15 years ago.
