There is no HDTV debate, as far as anyone else is aware of. When everything went to color, did you stop watching black & white? Or you one of THOSE? No, but at least when we had color, for how long did we have whiners saying "Oh, so you can see the color of the newscasters' clothes now, what an innovation to spend $150 bucks on!"? Color came in gradually, and consumers didn't really have to do anything apart from decide when to buy a set. Portables were B&W for quite some time, if memory serves, and we didn't get a color set until the early 70's (saw the last moon landing on a B&W set). I'm probably in the modern group you're complaining about, in that I honestly don't care about HD. If my current set dies I'll get one, yes, but I won't bother with HD programing Well, hopefully you'll still remember to get one with an ATSC digital tuner after Feb. 09, or you may find the programming not quite as interesting of late.. If what comes into my house via cable suddenly stops working, then I'll worry. -- Chris Mack "Refugee, total shit. That's how I've always seen us.
