Wind power had been in use long before fission was mastered.

incandescent vs compact florescent bulbs
The latter are much better for energy consumption and longevity, but the old bulbs give off a much better light imho.

the IBM spring-loaded keyboards had a much better tactile feedback than the current crop of soft-touch keyboards.
Klipsch promedia 4.1/5.1 are leagues better than the multimedia crap they come out with now.
old appliances all seem to be more reliable.

I still have 5 model M keyboards in my house. I think that should last me my lifetime.
Assuming I don't kill them with drinks.

not any that are bigger than a toaster.
my tv is 50 inches diagonally, 16:9. is that possible with a crt? does it weigh less than 400 pounds? is it less than 4 feet deep? how bad is the screen curvature? does it consume less than a kilowatt of power?

Talking about picture quality, not size. Biggest HD CRT I think was 34".
If you want to talk screen size, I am shooting 110"

Negative. As soon as I buy a record I clean it, rip it, then put it in a plastic sleeve and shelve it. I get the nice 'warm' sound of an LP but all the convenience of library searching and playlists.

Purists would say it's impossible to digitize the vinyl sound. Do you disagree? Can you tell the difference between a vinyl rip and a CD rip?

Sorry, but that's just wrong. LCDs can be excellent, and nearly on-par with Plasma. You can generalize that overall, plasmas are of better quality than LCD, but to just say that LCDs suck ass, period, is stupid. Samsung makes amazing LCD TVs.

This too. Especially when people try to cook things like eggs or meat in a microwave or one of those stupid low fat grills.
The one and only exception for me is microwaved steamed rice in one of those plastic steamer things. Perfect.
