I understand what he means.  I had a 14 year-old RCA TV that I was very
fond of.  It still had a great picture and with the dual speaker system on
the sides, it sounded very good.  Then one day during a storm cell passing
overhead, (where else?) a nearby lightning stike ruined the picture tube. 
I then discovered that RCA sold its TV production line to Thompson Products
and wanted no part of them.  I bought a (shudder) Sanyo, which has served
me very well and surprised me no end.

CH>bk>  Ah, but do you have two kids in college?
 
CH> Just one but yes I get your point. Let them have the old tv. :)
 
Been there, done that.
 
CH> I'm fascinated that we  can watch tv on the puter. Isn't that amaing?
 
Do you close one eye?  (-:
 
CH> Can somebody explain to me how we do that if say you have a limited

That depends on how much memory you have on your "GPU."  My guess
is you have about 64MB.  You may have more.
 
CH>bk>  Now that you mention it, I haven't much heard from him.
 
CH> HE (Lee) showed up just in time on CCS so we might be seeing hinm

I think someone found him under his piano giving Gogi Grant singing lessons.
