Political commentator Annabel Crabb has written a story for the The Age newspaper about the sad demise of TVs. Of course, she's not writing from the perspective of a nostalgic CRT freak like me but she makes some great observations about the current state of affairs that range from the humorous to the troubling. I love this paragraph:
"Spare a thought for burglars, who now face urgent professional development challenges. What's the point of nicking a television when the streets are already full of them?"
Read the article online here.
Also, this article reminded me of a post by David Viens, one of the Plogue developers: Analog TV Death toll.
Anyway, despite all the teary eyes, the figures mentioned in the article suggest that 2012 should be a bumper year for the SCART Hunter!
Sounds like the current boon of quality CRTs will fade once that government recycling plan comes in. Better keep stockpiling now!
