Well, it didn't take us long. We went to Bing Lee today and bought a new TV! I really wanted an LCD or plasma screen - so thin! so light! so less dangerous for kiddies (I'm particularly worried about TVs falling on young children) - but they were so expensive, especially to get one about the same size as our current (dead) one. I was looking at the 76cm widescreen LCD which was on sale for $1900. Dan convinced me otherwise... for that much money we could get two CRT TVs as well as a Mac Mini!! The possibility of a new computer was too much for me. We got the cheap tele ($400). Even entertained the idea of getting two ("It's within our budget, considering you wanted the LCD", said Dan), only for about a second, though.
Then we decided to go to Ikea to buy a proper TV cabinet. Currently the tele sits on a couple of cheap Ikea "LACK" tables and I'm not too happy about the arrangement. The new set up will be all-in-one with shelves so we can stop piling things on top of the TV and video/DVD stack. Plus you can bolt the TV to the bench. Hooray!
Anyway, the credit card is feeling a little hotter after today's outing (especially after Ikea - they have so many little nifty things that are so cheap... but let me warn you, they add up! d'oh!) and the wallets are a lot lighter. But, hey, we would have got the stuff eventually. It's just that we bought it all on one day. Right? Right??
