Sony Indextron...What do I have here guys?

[Sandy G]

A SERIOUS question for a change- about the Indextron- WHY ?!? Sony had, arguably, w/the Trinitron CRT the best CRT in the business. Secondly, they must have known that the days of the CRT were about over, soon ,you couldn't GIVE one of the damthings away. To research/develop an almost totally new product that as far as I know, gave little/no benefits, except to a very slim number of customers, would seem to me to be NOT an especially financially astute thing to do.
