got a plasma. contemplated hooking something up to the ol' VGA port. (mac mini or something) went with a Nokia 770 instead. That little internet tablet allows me to hit the web while watching the TV, all the while avoiding burn-in. screens a little small though.

Now if we could just appeal to broadcasters to use translucent station bugs only. (a la cbs, nbc, abc). Or none at all, different ones periodically, or change the position every now and then.

But then if I had my way, all the analog channels would be anamorphically 16:9. Make the 4:3 sets have to zoom and contort the image already. My FOX affiliate did this once during a football game 2 years ago by mistake, not bad.
