Ummm, last time the questions were about whether a couple
should have a tv or keep tv away from the kids. Now this
guy would like to know about whether the adults should
have a tv. (Er umm, should they invest in a color tv?)

A lot of people last time around suggested buying a vcr
and a color monitor. You have to pay for cable even if
you don't watch it. So, paying to rent movies may be
cheaper in the long run. Also, vcr's already have a
tuner in them, or most of them do. You can watch some
educational stations via that thing...The monitor would
double as a crt for the ol' Commadore or Apple. Seems
like a fairly smart way to go to me.

I think monitors are a little cheaper than televisions.
Only thing is, vcr's cost a few bucks. Watch sales fliers
from you local merchants...
