I agree, and we right now can see just how color worked in those days in sales and acceptance as we watch the few manufacturers now producing 3-D tv sets. Just the other day on the business news they were talking about the 3 companies making a 3D set, and the 4 current movies, and possibly 1 or 2 shows on some cable show that might be on..... Like competitive paper-ball fights. (something you can see in 3D). The reporters did have a pretty good time laughing and saying stuff like "Who is going to plunk down $3,000. bucks for 3D and watch Avatar over and over.....? You gotta be crazy to do that, its juast too much..." "Color???? I don't need to spend $1,000. dollars on some crazy thing RCA made in their basement just to see Ralph Kramden's walls are dingy grey......." just imagine....... its like a time machine..... in yer mind just replace "3D" with "Color".........

This would be a good time to get one of those $3,000. 3D sets and burry it in the yard till its worth more 25 years from now....... Then dig it up and put it on ebay... NIB naturally......

Sorta "squirrel one away"

Actually, several of the sets in my collection are ones that I purchased new 20-30 years ago... the bad news is that I did not realize the importance of keeping the original packaging... Big Duh here!
