(no subject)

I need some advice from the more technically aware. I'm considering getting a DVD player, mostly because last time I looked in a video store there were almost no videos, they were all these strange flat things.

If I get a DVD player, would I have to also upgrade my 15-year-old Akai television?

I thought of asking somebody in a store this but realised if I asked here, at least I can't *hear* anybody laugh.

Thanks

Sue
