"How long have you had a flat tv?//Who is still rocking with a tube?"


  

          

I was thinking about this the other day. When the flat panel tvs came on the market, they were expensive as shit. I remember sitting in my boys' crib asking... "Yo, when are any of us going to be able to afford one of these new tvs?" But prices have dropped so dramatically that like 3-4 years later I had one. And now I'm on my second. Mind you, both of these I've bought off friends who were upgrading for dirt cheap, but that's beside the point.

What were they going for when they came out? Like 5k and up, right?

Then black Friday happened. Now I don't think I know anyone who has a picture tube. Either people have a flat panel or no tv at all. The shift came much quick than I thought it would.
