0408 - Progress
0409 -
040901 - The television in the living room has worked poorly for the past
040902 - several years.  There has been an increasing delay for the set to
040903 - power up.  Millie likes to eat dinner and watch television in the
040904 - living room before going to bed.  This has become more difficult,
040905 - becauser of erratic power up the past few months.
040907 -  ..
040908 - A week or so ago the old television was taken to a recycle facility at
040909 - Best Buy in Pleasant Hill.  At that time, Millie investigated 32"
040910 - television products.  Best Buy offered televisions from a variety of
040911 - manufacturers, including Sony, Sharp, Vizio, and LG.  One criteria of
040912 - quality that correlates to cost is resolution.  Best Buy displayed
040913 - televisions with 720 pixel resolution for about $500, and 1080 pixel
040914 - which nominally indicates higher quality television picture for about
040915 - $700.  High resolution televisions have become popular with advances
040916 - in broadcast capabilities described as "High Definition" digital
040917 - technology that significantly improves older analog design.  After
040918 - pricing televisions at Best Buy, we drove to Costco, about 4 miles
040919 - away on Monument Boulevard.  Costco seemed to offer the same products
040920 - for about $200 less.
040922 -  ..
040923 - This morning, after Millie got Gemzar chemotherapy starting the 1st
040924 - treatment of the 3rd cycle with Gemzar at Kaiser, we went to breakfast
040925 - at the Hickory Pit next door to the hospital.  At breakfast, Millie
040926 - decided to go to Costco and buy a television.  This follows spending
040927 - the past 4 days in the hospital starting on Saturday getting treatment
040928 - for high fever and difficult breathing.
040930 -  ..
040931 - At Costco, we saw several 32" televisions which fit dimensions of
040932 - Millie's "entertainment" furniture in the living room.
040934 -  ..
040935 - Millie saw a Vizio prices at $499.99 which indiated 720 pixel
040936 - resolution.  There was also a Sony which listed 1080 pixels, and cost
040937 - $529.99, $30 more than the Vizio.  Millie decided to purchase the
040938 - higher resolution television in order to enjoy a higher quality
040939 - picture, based on her experience at home with a 48" set in her bedroom
040940 - that displays excellent quality.
040942 -  ..
040943 - Millie asked an attendant for assistance with the purchase.  She
040944 - pointed to the Sony with 1080 pixels.  The attendant walked around
040945 - the corner of the aisle where the television inventory was stacked in
040946 - boxes.  He loaded the box for the Sony on pallet cart.
