Provide a pick up program at least, many people won't get rid of those old sets because they don't want to move them or can't. Give them a real reason to upgrade these sets!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2008 6:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Survey shows consumers aren't apt to trash analog sets post-cutover]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/survey-shows-consumers-arent-apt-to-trash-analog-sets-post-cuto/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/survey-shows-consumers-arent-apt-to-trash-analog-sets-post-cuto/</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's hope people aren't dropping old CRTs in the dump.
