Who the hell is Rommel? </p> <p> I paid $6,000 for my TV in 2000 (don’t ask, I’d just sold a screenplay and was stupid) and it broke just before the extended 5-year warranty ran out, so I had it fully serviced and fixed. It took so long to get the part that it overlapped the expiration. So next time it breaks, it’ll be a worthless piece of junk. The cost to repair a great rear-projection TV is far more than the cost of an okay plasma TV nowadays. So I live in terror of that moment… </p> <p> That having been said, I’m clearly buying my next TV at Costco! </p> That’s freaking awesome! Who the hell is Rommel?
