Right, but please note that there is an *additional* radio tax, 114 shekels a year according to Wikipedia, which at the moment only car owners pay (families with multiple cars pay multiple times). BTW, according to the always-reliable source Wikipedia, http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%92%D7%A8%D7%AA_%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%93%D7%99%D7%95_%D7%95%D7%94%D7%98%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%95%D7%99%D7%96%D7%99%D7%94 it was decided in a court case that if you have a computer which has a TV-reception card it needs to pay agra, but a computer only connected to the Internet (and theoretically can watch TV that way) does NOT need to pay agra. But this can easily be changed by changing the law - which I'm sure they will once the Internet becomes common enough (as if it's not common enough already...). -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Dec 10 2012, 26 Kislev 5773 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I started out with nothing...
