"Oooh, so that's what happened to aiwa."

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Is THAT what happened to Aiwa? I had never made the connection.

I didn't even know Wega was in reference to a company they bought. I always thought it referred to their flatscreen trinitons and nothing else.

That thing struggled to keep geometry, but come on, it was a humongous widescreen CRT with stereo speakers that could replicate the Tunguska crater. You gotta love it.
