Small BPC set found by the dumpster and back there again

[Beachboy]

One thing that continually amazes me is how fast the public has embraced flat panel TV's and gotten rid of their perfectly working CRT models. Back when color TV was first introduced, it took many families 20 years or longer to finally migrate to a color set. In my mind, there was far more justification in going from a B&W picture to a color picture, compared to simply going from a CRT to a flat panel. People who bought flat panel sets a couple of years ago seem to be rapidly abandoning them in favor of even larger displays. Craig's List is flooded with used 32" LCD's, usually because the owner has "upgraded" to something even bigger. And we're supposed to be in a recession?
