    If only… our 27” family CRT was like a thousand dollars. A nobody had rear projection TVs until like the 2000s!

        Me in 2026 to myself: Be careful about burn in.

        Also me in 2026 back to myself: Engineers solved that with hardware and software a long time ago. Burn in is incredibly rare now.

        Me again: Remember how mad dad got about the Cartoon Network logo in the corner?

        Me, frustrated: Dude, we haven’t watched network TV in 20 years.

        My final stand: Dad was really mad, bro.

        I had a friend with rich parents who had one and it diiiiiid have some burn-in. Old rear-projection and early plasma TVs were verrry susceptible to that hahaha

        As a kid, I would have been CRUSHED if we had one of these and I couldn’t play SNES on it…
