Basically, if I understand him correctly, why should you care what your neighbour has?
I dont, except when it takes away from me. If you guys really been reading and comprehending my posts, you would get that already

thats
36", and you just partially answered your above question. Its the fact that
all or most of my neighbours, like sheep, are switching over that will make my finding parts improbably, grrrr

It seems to me that you resist change in certain aspects (widescreen tv) and willingly accept change in different aspects (cell phones) both of which are becoming mainstream to the point where widescreen tvs are just considered "tvs" and some people don't have a landline and use their cell phones instead.
I already explained all that as well, dont you pay attention? In the case of the TV, something is being taken away from me, choice. With the phones, I still have the choice, for now, of land lines. As long as I have that choice, I dont mind the other as well. Yes, I do roll my eyes at the way others, specially teenagers overuse cell phones, and text messages, etc. However, they make sense to have one in each car. Stupid not to actually. I keep my only in my car. My wife sometimes carries here with her. We don't give the numbers out, except my wife has given hers to a few of the people who work under her for work emergencys.
You might be surprised to know that I also drive power steering and automatic transmission. However, I would agree with anyone who complained if they could not get Manual. Is that so hard to understand?
If the TV stations would continue to broadcast for my tv and dual broadcast another signal for widescreen, much the way some do with HD, then you wouldnt hear a peep out of me, other than to give my personal opinion that I do not prefer such tvs when someone else brought the subject up.
My post here was about two points. First, my choice being taken from me. Second, part of the reason for my choice being taken from me is what I see as sheep mentality.
Wide screen tech = advancement? Not IMO.
I don't need to see Bruce Willis on the screen while the driver is talking. I saw him get in the car, I know he is there, I know what he looks like, and I see him in most every other seen. Maybe if he was sitting there getting heavy with a couple of naked girls......naahhh, at my point in life, I dont need to see that either.
