Anyways, I do think eberts' idiotic statements about himself are indeed uncalled for and, I assume, mostly unwanted on a video/electronics discussion board.
So back on topic, I recall another phenom of later TV history,,, The Closed Captioning decoders. IIRC, it was about 1993 when all new sets bigger than 13" HAD TO come with them.
Boy, I bet there are less than 2 people on earth playing a CC decoder through a digital tv set top box, in '09 (!!)  |
Well, I guess I'll be as guilty as the rest of you and continue off topic.
Eberts was giving his view on why color didn't take off right away and examples of what $600 meant. He then made a statement showing that things change as time goes on.
He then made fun of himself. I don't know how old he is, but as we get older we seem to be able to easily remember things from the past, but not yesterday's events. I don't think it was a crime for him to point that out even if it was the only statement that drifted too far from the topic.
