Farewell Cable TV?

Why do I need TV? Oh the random entertainment, noise in the background, stay up on current events? I dunno, though with Cable modem + Cable TV, I have me a hefty bill - but with all the entertainment available do I really need it?

The options, things like Netflix, Hulu, Joost, Amazon, iTunes, Vongo, etc. various free to low cost monthly subscriptions, I mean even with the ones listed, say $8.95 for Netflix, Amazon.com $10.00 for Rentals, Vongo $10, so around $30 gets me lots of streamable/downloadable content, as well as a single DVD out at a time from Netflix, I mean it’s a lot of stuff for $30, all of which can be view via the media rig using DVI->LCD TV - which then leaves the question, short of Vongo, why do I need Windows again? I don’t write this to make Jake upset about my Mac/Linux love, just looking at options to eliminate a machine, I mean remove the one machine merge some hardware, less clutter.

But time to look at it seriously, if I take digital cable line-up out of my monthly budget, that’ll increase my monthly surplus greatly - any one have any other ideas?

Anywhoo - so far so good today, got assorted things finished up, DNS will hot-swap tonight, just need to migrate the FH/TN core DNS records over and its good to go, but right on schedule with a Wed. cancelation! very cool indeed. It’s all good - thanks for the continued prayers, this week is looking good! Eventually I’ll sleep…. eventually.
