And now that Mitsubishi took its ball and went home, Sony is the only manufacturer of a 40" 4:3 CRT TV. I like it.

But in my experience, trying to talk someone out of buying a big flat TV and into a tube is like trying to sell an SUV owner on buying an AWD station wagon (or AWD minivan for kids). Maybe logic and common sense apply more often within this board's extended family....
