I never heard of a sixty-inch analogue TV! Thought they only made those somewhat outlandish sizes when TV went all digital and flatscreen. I think the biggest CRT TV I had was about maybe 24 inch? Very reliable yes for years, but one day it just died and that was my signal to move to digital (no pun intended - what pun?) since when I've had precisely two TVs, a 32-inch LG - nothing wrong with it, still working so far as I know but changed it for a bigger one, which is a 42-inch Sharp, again no problems. Neither are/were SMART TVs.

Is this just an excuse to post cat pics? Not complaining but you seem to have gone to some effort to find pics of a TV no one will care about and it's barely visible anyway.

Well, last time I looked, I was talking with TH - who may be interested in seeing something he wasn’t familiar with.

Come on, man, you just wanted to post your adorable kitty. There's no shame in it.

I'm always up for a cute cat pic! What's his/her name?

As for the TV, yeah I see now. I think I saw something similar on maybe Hardcore Pawn or something, some kid pushing it along the street. Don't think they gave him anything for it and he was like "Aw man! I gotta push this all the way back home?" Think it was falling apart anyway.

Lily’s right here sitting with me.
I just told her she has admirers.
She didn’t have much to say.

She has floof?! You're a shameless pimp.

on a pair of purple socks.
