because it vindicated my unwavering support for CRTs.
I'm certainly no fanboy, and I an willing and hopeful of being convinced otherwise, but I am yet to see an _affordable_ LCD/Plasma/whatever to rival a quality CRT.
Now that manufacturers have begun to concentrate on CRTs again, I can't wait for the next generation of tube TVs to come along. What with their superior dot pitch, matchless colour and contrast flexibility, increased viewing angle, the ease with which higher resolutions can be achieved, almost maintenance-free ownership and much, much better affordability, I have no doubt that they will kick the abovementioned young pretenders' butts! (Well, maybe not, but stranger things have happened.)
Not that I have anything against LCDs, you understand, but I really love my Samsung SlimFit, and it only cost me £650! Can't wait to plug my Xbox 360 into it in approximately 17 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes and 24 seconds (yes, the UK has to wait...again).
(All that said, I am fully prepared to reign my neck in when OLED HD screens become available and if they don't cost the earth. Epson's recent 40-inch OLED HDTV is quite something to behold! Everone _must_ see this TV in real life. Dazzling.)
The Rip is the latest addition to the Boogie eWriter line, devices that let you scribble notes and drawings and can be wiped away with the press of a button.
