Replying to a message of Richard Webb to JOHN FITZGERALD: RW> Hi JOhn, RW> On Sat 2037-Aug-22 11:01, JOHN FITZGERALD (1:123/140) wrote to RICHARD RW> WEBB: JF>> TV news is for simpletons generally.

I haven't owned a RW> television since 1996. Hmpf. I think I have four of them here. Haven't watched any of them for probably 35 years except for the week following 9/11/2001. Didn't bother to get the digital conversion boxes so I can't watch broadcast TV any more - not that I'll miss it. I have both VHS and Beta VCRs and a DVD player and several dozen tapes and DVDs if I get desperate to watch something; I assume they still work, none of them have been turned on since before I moved out here beginning in 2003. --- FleetStreet 1.19+* Origin: Bob's Boneyard, Emerson, Iowa (1:300/3) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 11/200 331 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 187 140/1 226/0 SEEN-BY: 236/150 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1418 266/1413 SEEN-BY: 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 285 712/848 800/432 801/161 189 SEEN-BY: 2222/700 2320/100 105 5030/1256 @PATH: 300/3 14/5 140/1 261/38 633/260 267 |
