Reply #157: My only TV is a little one (by today's standards) that is so old that [View All]

[Nothing Without Hope]

the ones at yard sales are nicer! The remote was lost long ago and the replacement, Radio Shack one recently decided to retire - changing the batteries did not revive it. Since the TV is intended to work with a remote, it's a real pain to deal with the thing. Fortunately I usuallly only have to put it on Channel 3 for the VCR/DVD connection and manually adjust the volume.

One of these days I'll finally get a good TV and kick myself for not doing it sooner, but the prices on the new ones are still dropping. Easier to abstain with my gorgeous new computer to play with instead.
