We cut off the land line phone, which meant switching our broadband to Clear, a good alternative if it's available in your area. As movie buffs (junkies), we decided to get a Netflix subscription, mostly for the Watch Instantly Over Broadband feature, which is limitless so long as you want to watch things they have available. So far the selection is pretty good, though not stellar. But for $8 per month, who's complaining? Not us. <br /><br />It was fine for a while hooking the laptop up to the TV to watch movies, but that got old, and only worked if I was home (the laptop goes everywhere with me) and not using it for something else. Recently we picked up a BluRay player that has Netflix built in (it connects to the Internet). Now we can watch movies in our queue straight from the DVD player. Very nice. Between that and DirecTV, we've got as much entertainment as we need.J.D.

I do play chess and I'm fair at it -- used to beat Sargon at the medium setting sometimes, which isn't great but is ok -- I didn't see it either.Daniel Keys Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992599044462413412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-61843072972819807482010-03-02T17:03:17.930-08:002010-03-02T17:03:17.930-08:00I surely don't know what I'm doing.
