Good to hear about Netflix.
Years ago I tried to buy a television set WITHOUT a tuner. My plan
was to hook it up to a simple high-quality VHS player (yeah it was
THAT long ago) and watch only prerecorded tapes of my choosing. They
treated me like I was some sort of alien and I never did find one.
Yeah, when I hear That Crowd talk about doing something for my benefit
I batten down my wallet and head for the basement. Lying is becoming
institutionalized and rewarded in more than a few professions.
