Randy - similar situation here. the damn thing won't die!

Back when I bought it, I splurged on a Mitsubishi TV that was considered among the cream of the crop. There were 25" & 27" TVs around too (and gosh those 27" TVs seemed big!), but they were beyond my budget at the time and 20" seemed plenty big for my first TV purchase. Turns out to have been my ONLY TV purchase, as here I am rapidly approaching my fourth decade on the planet.

ah well, it's all or nothing for me.

I guess that I just don't like to spend money, or more precisely, I like to spend money in the most perfect way possible for the budget I decide upon. So after insane levels of contemplation, when I finally do figure out what I want... look out! I go INSANE!! Hence, my soon-to-be 20" to 42" plasma jump. Or, my second hand boombox-like stereo "system" of the past and 'play only through the computer or cheap car stereo' present, soon-to-be replaced by a $2000 home stereo system! No in-betweens for this guy! []
