At least I am consistent old TV, old stereo, old cameras. You argue anti-digital photography vehemently, and then argue digital TV the same way.
Right now I am listening to Doris Day on my 1979 stereo. However I will use the modern stuff when it is more convenient and cheaper than the old. Retro is fun. I am neither a believer, nor a disbeliever, just poor. I actually couldn't really afford that 15 bucks right now, but sometimes you just have to stretch a bit. And you tell me I should have bought a $2000 home theater system. <disgusted head shake> J. C.
