I could not stand to buy a plasma knowing their life span is about 8 -10 and when they go bad you just throw it way.  :o

I don't think I've ever owned a tv for that long.

I've got a 36" JVC crt that I bought in 92. I've also got a 32" RCA that I bought in 90. There's a 5" GE in my kitchen that my folks bought new in 1987. There are more, but not nearly as old (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
