I'm with you. My partner and I have a television, but we don't have cable and with our rabbit ears the few channels we pick up are snowy and not worth the strain to watch. We exclusively use our TV to watch DVDs and tapes, most of them from that most incredible of resources: The Public Library! Mind you we in Toronto are blessed with an amazing public library system. Apparently it has the most branches and books per capita in North America. -f -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
