1. Take her to see it in person.
That's how my husband convinced me.

2. Why does she need to be convinced?
Does the money need to go somewhere else?

3. I just read a story that they'll only get cheaper in the short term.
That and money are what's holding me back.

4. Tell her the Bubble in the Old TV
is harming your eyes and doesn't show C-SPAN properly when trying to watch Dean, or Boxer... just name off as many DNC hero's you can think of.

Good luck!

6. Explain how it's a mere fraction of the price of one of these:




Explain how that by going with the TV rather than the private jet, you'll be saving your family millions of dollars!

13. Ah - your dog's name
Yes - I know what meisje means, which is why, when you referred to your wife, I suddenly had to reevaluate my mental picture of you. ;)

14. As a wife who believes that t.v. is the scourge of modern mankind,
I have to admit that if you show her the thing in person, she will be sold. This is one bit of technology I can appreciate!
