Yes they were so bad. Looking at a low resolution screen five rows ahead playing a choppy video off of a magnetic tape and listening to a static fllled audio transmission of the same move for an entire month. We’ve come a long way and it’s much better now. PDE is the future. I know people love to complain, but how is PDE not an upgrade over the shared screen. If you don’t have an electronic device, well, get with the times.
