Am I the only person not engulfed in the HD craze? It's conquered Dan Marino and numerous gawking kids, but not me! I really despise the commercial where a fat guy is getting a new HD system and he doesn't even recognize when he's on an HD channel...then he calls to his wife to come in and tells the salesman, "she loves HD." How can she love HD so

I've discovered the solution to HD in $100:

Step 0: Sell old HUGE TV, fridge, and misc stuff. $250
Step 1 [TV]: Buy reasonable HDTV (or LCD that you accidentally discover is HD, as the case may be)... 20" or so widescreen. $350
Step 2 [Source]: Use old rabbit ear antenna that you find in storage to nab free broadcast HD from over the air.
Step 3 [Installation]: Save $100 from Firedog by knowing how to plug in a TV.

Bingo.

Dodger games in HD are nice. They'd be better if they won.

I should have known you'd stand up for technology.

Only when it comes down in price.

For instance: iPhone looks and feels great when you play with one. No way in hell I'd get it for the current price.

I'm reasonable too, ya know.

The current price is lower than it was...

Seeing a Trojan football game in HD is like eating ambrosia.

HD movies are pretty ridiculous too.

Fair enough, but I still don't think it's worth the money. It might be worth mooching off a friend who has HD though...
