I disagree. The Panasonics are a beautifully piece of engineering. There
aren't, as far as I have seen, any sets as stylish and attractive as the
Panasonics on the market. That alone makes them worth the asking price.
If I had the resources of say, Moneybags Morris, I'd be straight round
to my local dealer (who does me at least 10% off, anyway) and would be
walking away with one of the 22" sets. This set has a place on my
"BIG
Shopping List". Trouble is, before I reach it, it'll have been
superceded!

Nah, this list is full of people who want to enjoy their hobby. I'd much
rather buy products off the shelf than make them, if the stuff I wanted
was available and I had the money.

You certainly wouldn't catch me using a PC-based solution for TV. That's
what TVs were invented for.
