All of us older folk have been around long enough to see things come and go. Like the typesetters that were replaced by laster printers or the milkmen that got the boot by the grocery store. How about the VCR rental players at the video store, gone, and soon to be replaced by downloaded movies from iTunes.

Well kids, you might be in high school this year and big bad seniors but soon you’ll be able to tell your children and younger friends, “I remember when televisions used to be heavy boxes with glass tubes.� I think we’ve all seen the tubed telly section at the electronics store getting smaller and smaller.

Well news from Sony adds one more to the “I remember when� category for kids. Sony has announced that it will stop making rear-projection televisions. An end of an era. Sadly, I never owned one of those and now they’ll be collector electronics on eBay. The shipping will be a bitch though.

Get used to it kids, your parents can still remember when the IBM PC was way cool and I know, you think they are just used for boat anchors now.
