My daily use TV is a Sony Trinitron 32" CRT which is now about 24 years 
old..and still going strong. My wife says we will get an LCD 'when the 
Sony dies'. I suspect however, that I will require the services of some 
tent pegs and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to get that to happen...Unless I 
can find some silver bullets.....
