The benefits of cable/satellite TV

[vchimpanzee]

I get the slowest Internet that isn't dial-up. $9.95 a month currently, about $14.95 I think after I've had it a year.

I'm afraid to go to any sites other than a few "approved" ones. For anything else there are libraries in my area, some of which don't care how long I stay ont he computer because I don't go at peak times. I don't watch video at those for those most part because, with one exception, earphones are not provided any more. You buy your own. I don't want to carry them around and I don't like to wear them.

I don't watch video at home because I'm afraid of messing up the computer--plus there is that speed issue. It has done very well. Plus I don't like noise so I never hooked up the speakers.

Cable is $8.88 a month for the first year and about $13 after that. I get pretty much all the channels I want. I hate missing certain shows, but I watch too much TV anyway.
