It's been suggested by a few idiots that a TV had now place on a modern crusing

You've forgotten your medication again. And again, you're confused. We
talked about blue water sailing, not the modern cruiser solely used as
dock caravan.

Space: Have you guys ever heard of "flat screen TV?" Uses little power and
takes up even less space.

It's not the space..

Safety: A properly mounted TV won't fly around in bad weather or a knockdown.

It will not detach from the platform it's mounted to, agreed. Too bad
the platform itself will be flying through the cabin.

Power: Many long distance cruisers now carry nice laptops in addition to the
standard charts. These laptops can treat the cruiser to a movie now and again
with almost no power penalty.

A laptop is no TV. Yes, really.

The fact is that TV has become a no-brainer for easy entertainment on many a
cruising boat, espcially in recent years with flat panel displays. Anyone who
says otherwise is living in the past and hasn't read websites showing today's
cruisers and what they carry. Books, music? Of course! But a TV can be a great
treat for those aboard and doesn't need to stay home anymore.

Wake up and smell the 80's, kids. They've ended...long ago!

Yup. However, the ocean is still the same...

If the bulkhead detaches, the TV is not something you'll be worried about,
braniac!

Bwahahahaha!

Agreed. I also have to clean my house. And feed the cat. And brush my
teeth.

Cheers!

Even on this you're wrong.
Amazing!

I meant that the ocean is still unpredictable... BTW, is it possible
for you to answer in a single post? Seems your short memory is
damaged....

Using individual posting method does far more damage. Don't mess with what
works!

Agreed. Beside a troll, wannabe sailor, you're also self destructive.
May I advise you visit a psych?

How so? Much as Mooron enjoys drinking, I enjoy this...and I'm not hurting
myself in the process. However, you are wasting time and energy for my
amusement.
It's a good deal.

There are two possibilities here Remco. One, Bob can't figure out
how to do it. Two, Boobsie does it on purpose for several reasons;
it ****es some people of, he thinks it is somehow more effective,
and/or he likes to keep the statistics that reflect the number of
posts he makes high.

Could never figure that out, to the casual observer about 99% of the Boob's
post appear to have emanated from someone of A. Extremely low intelligence
or B. A gifted 6 year old. I think Boob must adhere to the old adage, "if
you throw enough **** on the wall some of it will stick" A third
alternative:

I've looked this up before, haven't noticed any links to NIMH or any
"serious" medical sites, I'm guessing that it would be due to the fact that
it's not considered a debilitating disorder, and their aren't any
pharmacological treatments for it as far as I know, though I've only done a
cursory examination.
