Default Service biz forecast

See other thread about the future.

Nothing in the large screen venue is as bright and sharp as a CRT based
set. That is the technology.

In the future soon, we will have to learn LCD light engines, DLP light
engines and their associated color wheel. And bulbs and ballasts all
around.

If you are up to it, welcome the new age, if there are 10 people
working at your shop, it will be nice when there are only four.

There was a time, I was convinced (by actual happenings) that I could
get a job at ANY TV shop, period. For a time that was true. Beat out
154 applicants for one job, then quit it after eight months.

Yes the same death knell is sounding for us, as it did for the toaster
terch about 40 years ago. I know the manufacturers act in their own
best interest, but they don't owe us ****. They do but not directly.
They owe the US for the detriment they have caused, but it is not owed
to me. I got my KP36XBR and that's the last time.

I turned it on today, talk about filthy, lenses and mirror. Tha is not
their fault though.

My amplifier is even older. I can't say that about the source though, I
play everything off the PC, except the guitar of course. They gotta do
what they gotta do, and guess what, so do we.

Roll with the changes. Survive. Ther alternative is,,, well the
alternative.
