My poor Magnavox -- RIP
The ole girl went out on me last night.

It was time for her to go.

She was on her last legs. She had moved with me from Indiana to El Paso, then from El Paso here to Atlanta. All in the back of a UHaul.

She has been bumped, dropped, zapped, yelled and thrown at (during Hannity and Colmes), Streaked, Trinitied, Maled and Femaled (they used to get behind her to play with the wires).

But she always came through to greet me each morning with Washington Journal.

Goodbye, Maggie. You'll be missed.

NOW--

I need another television for my bedroom, and I don't have much to spend.

Any ideas?

2. Well, if you liked your Magnavox, go with a Philips
Usually inexpensive and damn near identical to Magnavox (as Philips own them).

4. I bought a Panasonic a couple months ago
Pretty cheap and the best tv for the money at Circuit City. First tv I've actually paid for--my dad gives us his old ones.

10. I think I paid something like $250.

It was before Christmas and the little grey cells aren't what they once were. Actually, I think it was more like $200. And it's a pretty big tv.
