Technology-creep

Exercising the Freedom to Consume Conspicuously (what, you missed that one in the Bill of Rights?!) we finally bought a DVD player yesterday that came with surround sound. Now the living room has a spaghetti-bowl full of wires running in all directions (Six! Speakers!) and the sound is fantasic - but alas we still can't get the video feed working. B. anticipates that the RCA helpline people, when they are back at work tomorrow, will probably say that our TV is too old to accommodate this setup. It's Techno-Creep - buy a new TV to handle the bargain-price DVD player. We DID find the original TV remote in a bagful of remotes in the closet, but that doesn't seem to be helping.

Ooh, it's working now!! Channel 91, who would have thought?
