Public Service Announcement

OK, think about how many people are still using analog TVs without cable. Think about what kind of people they are. Then tell them they have to go online to get instructions for switching over. Ain't gonna happen. (via Everlasting Blort)

Silly you--we have one TV, which is on maybe an hour a day. No need for expensive cable, since we barely watch it. We do, however, have 5 computers (for 4 people), which run pretty much nonstop. Many non-TV people are not stupid luddites, just perhaps more evolved.

I know what you mean, Anne, I don't watch any TV. Still, I have one that doesn't need converting. The kids watch DVDs.

I'm with Anne! We get one channel on our TV, so, other than Heroes, it's pretty much for gaming and DVDs. But we couldn't get along without our DSL.

Nasty little streak of prejudice you got there Missy. Are you afraid of the people who chose not to waste time like you do or do you hate them for making you feel lazy?

Not everybody has the extra money to waste on having more channels for people to waste time watching. As my wife puts it, "You want to charge me $50 a month so my kids will waste even more time?"

We got two converter boxes months ago, but only half of the local channels are digital so far. PBS went completely digital since their signal tower is on top of a mountain that gets snowed in soon.

I have no idea what you're talking about, gamerjohn. It's a funny video. What are you so defensive about?
