I don't get people. I remember my old man spending over $200 in early 80's for a short wave radio just to listen to static that sometimes sounded like Turkish radio. Then middle 80's there was the video which I remeber cost us over $1000 and hiring tapes was around $10 a movie. Since then we have had a string of Video shops hiring out bad quality tapes that usually ended up damaging your video. We now have the privilege of watching LIVE programs at a cost of $2 a day. I agree with Dan04,make the most of what you have. I suppose you just can't please everyone.
