Tubes in the future?

Many people are going to the Goodwill and picking up an old Tube TV for 9.95 and getting a converter box. It is not just the economic crisis. I went to Office Depot and the cheapest HD LCD TV was about 699, whereas they had a close out sale on tubes for 30 each. So I got a tube. Tell you what tubes last over ten years whereas LCD TV last about two.

It seems like old tech is here to stay, and people are kickin' it ol skool with the tubes.
