Well, I just went kicking and screaming into the 21st century last
week, with my first LCD TV... and it looks so much better than any
CRT I have ever seen that I want to cry about all the stuff I am
going to have to rewatch now ;^) And, hell, it'll sync on anything...
it's scary. Also, what with almost everthing that I get being 16:9
now, wow, to see it filling that nice big screen... what was I
thinking putting up with that old room-heating CRT?!
