oh please! 

<personal rant> 
on my 53" rear projection set (~4 years old), i can't get my wife to get 
over the black bands of the hd picture.  to me when watching baseball or 
any sport for that matter, you see more of the field and the action with 
better clarity.  she still can't get over the black bands and the 
picture is smaller (whine, whine, whine).  no matter that you can barely 
see the batter's shoulders with sd. 
and yes, brady to moss is a beautiful thing to watch!

i think people will buy whatever crap they're told.  have you ever 
actually sat through an "info-mercial"?  there ain't much info in it, 
yet they're everywhere.  somebody has to be buying that junk else the 
vendors wouldn't keep throwing money at buying tv time.  most folks 
can't count over ten without taking off their shoes and socks, let alone 
figure out the difference between 480i/p, 720i/p, ...  but then again, i 
tend to have a less than favorable opinion about the intelligence of the 
american people. 

oh good.  the medication is starting to kick in...

True. But, once you see how HDTV looks next to analog...
