Hi 933. Well, that is a good idea, but I do not think I could stand trying to watch programmes on this relatively small screen. I may think about doing it for the telly sometime down the line. I can stand to watch videos on my MacBook, and my telly screen is a bit bigger than my laptop screen, so I can watch there, too. Actually, I was thinking of subscribing to PBS's on demand on-line videos. It is only $65 a year, and the donation helps PBS, and they have the best programming out there in my opinion.
I have a small screen Samsung telly (I think; I forget!
) that is not a smart telly. I read up on them a couple of years ago, though. There are a lot of privacy and security drawbacks to having one, and I decided then that I did not want one. I suggest you read up on them before you make the financial commitment. I think you will be surprised. I hope we are not moving to a time where we will no longer have a choice to buy a dumb telly!
Really, I feel like a relic from another age. I love a lot of the things we have available to us these days, e.g. iPhones, laptops, Internet, etc., but I wish a lot of other things had stayed the same, e.g. I thought cable telly was a good idea 50 or so years ago, but I changed my mind about that by then end of the '80s if not sooner. Never thought satellite was a good idea either given the awful dishes people attach to their homes---they are hideous, and right now, I have a next door neighbour with two of those hideous things attached to their house.
Anyway, now is a good time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, too, so Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It is unseasonably warm here, and we have a ton of rain in the forecast starting today through the rest of the week, but it is suitably grey for November, so we can imagine it is colder than it is by turning down the air conditioning.
I love grey, cold November days, but it does not look like we will get any for the rest of the month. It is almost December now! Where has Autumn gone?! The days are passing much, much too quickly. I will cling onto to December, January, and February for dear life! I dread the upcoming hot, humid weather beginning in April. I am not a hot weather person at all.
Anyway, everyone have a safe, happy holiday. Gobble-gobble!
933, I hope you are enjoying your new 11! I bet everyone will want you to demonstrate all of its charms at Thanksgiving!
