Please DO make me a list of ALL of the marvelous crap you imagine is oh SO much better than what I own. I truly want to know what they are.

You don't know the first thing about me, so I'll recap some of the things I listed here and some that I haven't. Perhaps you can then figure out just WHY you are making suggestions to someone, with extremely different taste and needs from you.

We don't want wall sized T.V.s, nor even just slightly smaller ones than that. But we don't have oldish, cheapo crapola either.

I watch news, pretty old movies, discs of very old movies, and Brit and Aussies shows. During the season, I watch baseball. I DON'T NEED CRAZY MICROSCOPIC KIND OF RECEPTION FOR WHAT I WATCH !

Just WHERE did I EVER say that I don't watch some YouTube stuff? I do, on my laptop and what I do watch, there's less than NO need for some overtly large screen.

And as far as "learning" things.....you could stand some remedial reading comprehension classes, as well as classes in etiquette, and what people from different classes find "important"/needed to buy; though nowadays, our culture is so debased, that money, or lack thereof is hardly a criteria for many things.

You bet that I'm a bit of a Luddite and PROUD of it! There are many items, that are now no longer available, that were far better than their present day replacements...IF there even ARE any replacements to be had.

But unlike you, I shan't waste any bandwidth, telling you why and how much you are wrong; but I'll leave you with this: different people have different wants and needs and one size doesn't fit all.

Well there you go. Have fun. There is virtually no major product made today that is not better than its counterpart 20 years ago but feel free to use whatever you want, I do.
