Winter:  Our Winter cover looked at the death of analog television.

Pictured is a TV with rabbit ears thrown into an old metal garbage can.

The picture shows George W. Bush being sworn in at his first inauguration.

The garbage can has a bumper sticker on it that says "The Memory Hole 2008" in the shape of an Obama/Biden campaign sticker as a nod to George Orwell's 1984.

The "Thank You" on the plastic bag is open to interpretation - it could be for those who upgraded the television standard or for those who changed the occupant of the White House.

(A little bit of trivia: this is the actual television set that Bernie S. used in prison.  It is etched with his prisoner ID number, but this is not shown.)

(Analog television has been replaced by the digital [DTV] standards.)
