Like old-fashioned tube TVs? Too bad. A great piece in the New York Times on the end of an era.

"The end of picture-tube TVs is accelerating faster than a lot of us expected," said Randy Waynick, a senior vice president for Sony Electronics. The company, which offered 10 tube models two years ago, will pare that number to two next year, both of them wide screens. "Picture-tube TV sales reductions were far greater than forecast," Waynick said.
