Things to think about...

* Now that everyone has CD players, turntables are expensive, not cheap.

* So, if my VCR gets stolen the day after this goes into effect, I will have to replace my TV, too? Would the insurance cover this? (Not...)

* Does this mean that warranties don't get honoured as people dig out their old equipment and get it serviced? Or will *fixing* an analog device also be illegal?

* Will importing such devices (for personal use) be illegal? Japan, Canada, and (I think) Mexico also use NTSC as a standard, although Japan has different broadcast channel specs. (This reminds of the bizarre - but true - stories of importing Canadian toilets because the law-abiding American toilets don't work...).
