Default Why I don't have a plasma or LCD TV either

Win2k runs lots lighter on the system, freeing up system resources for
intensive apps


But what about on a system that runs too fast, making it unstable?

lso XP has all kinds of bugs regarding burning
duplicate media.


I had that problem. A registry mod fixed that problem for me, which disabled
auto-insert notification for the CD writer.

Besides, I don't rely on Roxio for CD writing. I rely on Nero.

Experts would argue that Sony's single gun "Trinitron" tube is a poor
concept lacking in resolution and yielding poor color quality.


One such expert worked for Philips, which invented the invar shadow mask CRT
which competes against Trinitron. Makes you think, don't it?

Also, if Trinitron is so bad, then why is it used in all sorts of critical
applications over all others such as professional video, film production, NASA
mission control, and medical operations?

I would love to read your explanations on those points, which are likely to be
more bull****.

If you really want the best color in a consumer tv then Zenith still
produces a good set for the money and the later models have addressed
the issue of lack of sharpness which the older models fell down on.


Zenith I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot cattle prod.

First off, Zenith never made decent sets since the 1990s. Now, their sets are
produced by their corporate parent: LG Electronics. They are better, but they
aren't great in comparison to other manufacturers. The repair shop I go to
almost always gets a Zenith in for repairs for one reason or another. One of
their biggest problems: too many frickin' surface mount parts at critical
locations which costs the customer in reliability and makes servicing a pain in
the ass.

Sony vcr's in a back room with one
problem or another. All were high end videophile models costing in the
5-700 dollar range and all exibited problems in either the audio
output stage or video input.


I've been using Sony VCRs for the longest.

All I've got to say is "no problems here."

I alsohave a box full of walkman's from various generations that all
crapped.


And do you seriously think Walkmans from any manufacturer are any good?

But, I've got a Sony Walkman (WM-FX403) that ran daily for up to six years
non-stop before the pinch roller decided to give up the ghost. - Reinhart
