Then you miss my point. I didn't claim that my iPod was anywhere near filled just as the TiVo guilt article wasn't about hard drives getting full. I was going to refine what I posted last night. The problem is overabundant free or cheap content and cheap (and getting cheaper) storage capacity. The result is that we're figuratively piling up stuff and filing it away without consuming it. And that problem is one of time management and deciding on best use of it. I added books because, on a recent trip to the library, I went over to a corner where they sell donated books as a fundraiser. The sign over those books said "free books." They couldn't even sell them for $1 each. Tom W --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
