One of my other interests is game shows, and I'm a member of an internet board dedicated to game shows, both new and old. There's a substantial percentage of the membership there that likes the nostalgia TV channels like Me-TV and Antenna TV. I also like having a digital subchannel that cycles through various weather/radar maps, which I find particularly useful any time there's a thunderstorm and I don't really want to fire up the computer, or a heavy enough snow storm that I worry about the satellite internet getting blocked. -- Ted Schuerzinger fedya at hughes dot net _______________________________________________ Swprograms mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swprograms To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [email protected]?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
