Technology marches on!

I remember the discussion--who would want to watch TV on the Internet??? Incredulous. Dumb idea. Weird. Just another "boy" justification for some monitor he wants!

So, I was wrong. Who knew that you could skip the TV altogether, pick the episode you wanted to watch, when you wanted to watch it, and click. Great, convenient, useful. Once they get the bugs out (this is not for prime time viewing when Internet traffic is high--it "stalls" too often).

So, I now see the value in it. Not for everyday viewing. But o.k. for catching up, for hotel rooms in strange cities where you have nothing to do, for understanding the story line if you missed an episode....

Technology. A wonderful thing!
