Re: 3D TV Advice?

I had my Royal Flush in my dorm room....in the actual dorm that the Nerds got kicked out of by the Jocks in "Revenge of the Nerds". They filmed it the summer after I graduated.

Re: 3D TV Advice?

Before you decide you should check viewing distance vs. screen size. Too large (too close a viewing distance) and you will get a headache as your eyes are constantly moving around the screen. check here...

or

or

You are lucky to be able to make this decision. I was not allowed to have TV when I was in school, nor refrigerator, microwave, nor computer. And we didn't have air-conditioning in that dorm either.

Well, yeah, Al, but IBM 1401s used a LOT of electricity and the 1402 card punch/reader was pretty bulky.

Re: 3D TV Advice?

Nope,
By charter, only the computer sciences department was allowed to run a computer on campus. An IBM 360 with punch cards. The engineering lab PDP11 was listed on inventory as $10,000 of misc electronic parts.
Graduated 1973, Bradley University, Peoria, IL.
