Remember when a 21-inch diagonal TV made you think you just brought a movie screen home? Oh, you don't? Well, okay then. Go away and quit being...young!

Seriously, I know I'm not the only one who thought that was a big set back in the day. We have an old 27-incher that gets used for video games. It probably dates back to 2000. And then a 19-inch that still works but pretty much just takes up space in the spare room. But I don't think even that one dates back to the '80s.

What made me think of this is an Associated Press story I saw about some guy who was charged with stealing a TV set 27 years ago in Connecticut came up from his home in Florida and turned himself in. He learned that there was a warrant out for his arrest and just couldn't live with the guilt.

And no, they didn't exactly laugh it off and say don't worry about it. He was released but made to promise he'd make a court appearance next week. Apparently he stole the TV from a church center where he worked as a custodian. Wasn't Judge Judy still in grade school back then?    DB
