This was to be the weekend that, after seventeen years
with our old and trusted TV, we would have it hauled out and replaced with a
new flat-screen model.
However, although the old one was picked up early Saturday
morning as the storm began to rage, delivery and installation of the new one scheduled
for late that same day, was delayed until the middle of next week. The snow and wind proved to be unforgiving. (Not to mention that we may have lost that beautiful
pin oak in the front yard.)
Our big old cabinet model Zenith TV was manufactured
with ‘state-of-the-art’ technology when we purchased it in 1994. But technology does not stand still and, a year
later, Zenith came under the control of South-Korea based LG Electronics whose
products are now carried by major store chains such as Costco and P.C.
