Luddite alert

I wish to claim my first-class luddite status in the telepatch.

I just ordered DTV converter box coupons from the U.S. gub'ment. They claim it's going to be mailed (!) July 11, and take 2-9 days to arrive. Whoa, speed demons.

The coupon is to hook up my "new" (analog) TV from 1994 (discarded by Riedl). Actually, it's going to hook up the VCR from 1994 (which we bought!), that hooks up to the TV from 1994. We just got rid of JJ's 1983 basement special this past year.

I wonder if DTV will allow me to get channel 2 (public television).

M claims Scott probably had a digital t.v. years ago.
