So, if you get part of your money back, that's a good "investment"? :-)
I recognize I'm being pedantic.
"That's what I wanted, until I wanted something else" would have been less
high-faluting. I seem to remember that spouse/furniture issues applied to
the first set.
I won't hassle people for what they choose to use to watch TV. But then, I
don't watch much TV on a tv set.

You buy stuff for a purpose and expect that it will fulfill that
purpose. IF it does, you recoup that investment. IF it does not, you
lose.
I guess I could have said, "I wrote it off as a business expense."
I know many people who did just that.
All I am saying is that I got a good return on that initial
investment, and when I was ready to move on to a better set, I was
still able to get part f that initial investment back.
