Wow, it had 3.5" floppies. It ran CP/M, but it couldn't read the disks from any other CP/M system on the market at the time. Probably why it failed in the marketplace.
My food is problematic.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not that I didn't already believe that Drew was right, but I was talking to a friend last night and he told me that his mom was on her third Vizio TV in a year and a half. :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why do you buy Vizio #3 in that scenario? Are they crack-laced?

We've had a LG for 2 years so far, works exactly the same as new.

I'm glad I remembered the Samsung rec, because there were a lot of nice looking Vizios at Costco when I was looking.
I did end up returning the first Samsung I got there. Partly because I realized I probably could fit a bigger one than I had thought, but also because the volume level on the one I got didn't go very high, even for the small room I'm in. I ended up getting a bigger Samsung, but also jumping up a level or two in quality. It's very nice so far.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just hook my stereo into my TV. I don't even know how loud my TV can go.
I have some sorta-generic TV from Radio Shack I bought a year and a half ago. Crossing my fingers that it will live a long life.

Yeah, I just had to steer my brother-in-law Samsung direction based on this conversation.

I think that it's still under warranty, so she keeps getting them replaced.

All is well that ends in pizza.
LG has sure improved in consistency and quality since they started coordinating their internal purchasing [link] maybe that also lead to quality controls.
