They definitely were
Yeah back then they absolutely were.
They absolutely had a lot of debt*
Credit cards wit have been available for quite some time.
Or that.
Okay, but why is the couch BEHIND it?
This was the fashion of the time.
My dad had one of these he built into his home theater when his collection was hundreds of VHS cassettes. Looked like garbage, even in a dark room.
Ended up spending the last few years of his life in front of the gigantic CRT that has digital cable and DVD.
He also bought the biggest CRT monitor for his one top of the line best buy PC that he undoubtedly only used to look up porn.
He bought the biggest whenever it came to tech, even if he didn't really know how to use it.
My cunt of a step mom probably lost those big beautiful CRts to gambling debt, if her junkie sons didn't pawn them the second my dad died.
I almost threw my back out moving one of these down a stairwell out of an apartment. So huge, heavy and awkward.
Same! Back in the day my new flatmate, who was recently divorced, called me from work to say the delivery guy would be arriving with a new TV for the flat. I ended up having to help him lift it up 4 flights of stairs. It weighed an absolute tonne and my body ached for days. I didn't complain though as he paid for it :-)
I knew a guy who had a front projection TV, it was huge. How expensive were those in comparison?
Those were so effing cool.
oh dude, that tv changed hands five times. one of them was through mine
