That sounds great. Thanks Craig.

Yes, Midnight in Paris is a wonderful film. Never, never count Woody Allen out. "People should be born at seventy and live their lives backward." -- dialogue spoken with bitter conviction by Curd Jurgens in The Mephisto Waltz (1971).

I know, it's so annoying. And the technology that suddenly is "outdated", just sits around and collects dust, even though it could continue to work fine for a little while longer. Honestly, I have no desire to own the "latest" thing, as I hate the idea of wasting so money on something that I would lose interest in using in a few months anyway. And if I do think about getting one, I just have to look at my Walkman and CD player that are currently sitting in my house, collecting dust, even though they still work fine.


And some people (including some on this board) give me a hard time because I don't have a Tivo, and don't intend to have one. So far, I have done fine keeping up with my shows, with episodes online, which I watch at work, and sometimes, the VCR at home. The only times I really wish I had one, is for major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cup.


Have to admit though, it is hard to live life without the internet these days.
