Everyone has their thing: TVs, cars, clothes, vacations, rare art/collectibles, hobbies. As for TVs, like some of you here, I recall my B&W 13" Zenith, 1971, $80 (I think). Then my first color. And so on. Now, WTH, I'm fine with just a 19"-28" flat screen, so what! Who needs a 5-foot screen connected to computers and what-not? I do keep 4-6 (working) TVs around the house, though, for different rooms including kitchen and BRs, most with a DVD player plugged in, all on antenna. I still have three analog TVs on a digital converted box! No expensive TV gear here. In fact, except for DVD movies, I'm trying to keep them turned OFF as much as possible. Gee, wasn't this fascinating! Yes, dear, tell me more ...

Wow. I'm in a quandary -- do I buy this beautiful TV, or update my library with this $5,000,000 bible that's probably been signed by the author? Hmmm........
I'm in a quandary, too. I had been planning on buying this Porsche 911 Targa 4S with the spare ~$150,000 I found in my pocket:
It comes standard with a 7-speed manual transmission, and since I refuse to drive anything BUT stick shifts, it's perfect! But, gee...that TV... I just don't know...
