don't give up, that's the spirit! thanks for the late night chuckle

too bad it's a public poll, a lot of folks might not want to admit to tube tv ownership

I have no idea why I am interested. I suppose I am curious if gamblers who so frivoulously spend money on nightly wagers have invested in modern technology/entertainment to watch their bets. We all have wagered enough to own the best flat screen avail in every room and closet in our houses... so lets see how many are still "tubing" out there... and I'm sure there's a few other sociological items to extract from our sample. i am 1 and 1 for the record.

last CRT I owned was a big, 65" Mitsubishi rear-projection HDTV, that was probably 8 years ago... I don't think I've owned a direct-view CRT in over 10 years

Switching over to flat screen just felt good. You know you are helping to save on energy and getting a superior product.

The resolution is more than worth it, even if it's faked (I.E., 480p)


Last boob tube I had was like 5 years ago.

Not completely on topic, but I know that STEAKTARTAR spends a lot of time on that Tubegalore.com website
