  Why would you watch that crap NOW, or record it for LATER viewing?

  An amazing invention thousands of years ago was the book.  This is
usually sheets of paper with words written on it, telling a story
about something.  You don't need to record it for later...  you
already have the recording if you have the book.

  throw away your TV's.  Stop being programmed.  Sit in front of your
Apple II and be the programmer, not the programmed.


Rich, when will you tell us how you *really* feel?  ;-)

Of course, virtue stands in the middle.  Not all TV is lowest-
common-denominator.  Have you see the Planet Earth episodes?
Absolutely stunning in HD.

And "tivoing" classic movies from TCM is great fun--and leaves
plenty of time for programming Apples.  ;-)
