Re: Am I the only person who isn't crazy over WIDE SCREEN?

Think about the social aspects of conversion to HDTV. What are the poor
people going to do ? They can't afford a convertor box (HDTV to NTSC)
let alone a new widescreen TV. Are we working folks going to be buying
people on government assistance a convertor box or a new TV ? You know
they won't be left in the dark. Will cable companies still provide
NTSC and Hi Def ? This is a very big problem that is confronting the
USA (not as big as oil) and the clock is ticking. Take Care
