As for interesting, I was home sick a while back, and I watched the House hearings on Enron's market manipulation....very interesting and good stuff.     Wojtek Sokolowski <sokol@jhu.edu> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">At 03:15 PM 6/5/2002 +0000, jks wrote: >I'm not a snob about it.

Ditto - organizing time is the primary concern. One can find something useful on PBS but that requires organizing my time around their programming. So I prefer reading which I can do on my own time, sequence and pace. When my kid lived with, he used the thing, but mainly to watch videos. But after he left for college, I got rid of the thing altogether. The final straw was its sheer ugliness - a hideous plasticky box sitting right in the center of my living room.
