Goodbye, Grundig
The old television set fizzles and dies. I think it's about 20 years old. It was bought around the time I was born (1985). So it's the main television set in the house until 1998, when we moved, and my parents bought a wide-screen Panasonic DDD (note: still using CRT). The Grundig went to the master bedroom for my parents to use.
2004: moved house again, the Grundig remains with the master bedroom.
Until lately it finally drew its last breath - or shot.

*Speaking about CRT - remember how those large-screen television sets used to be the symbol of economic well-being? The economic gap of televisions seems to be closing: plasma TV sets are becoming so widespread and affordable.
