along with everything else, there is little time left in a day to watch tv. For me, I could not swallow that comcast bill when I can only watch one thing at a time and only what was on.

I haven't had cable tv or a tv for that matter for about 5 years now. I do have high speed net access and that's all I need. I view or read or listen to what I want, when I want, where I want -have a notebook pc in my bathroom with the stack of Northerntool catalogs and Handyman mags

The other day I had to get a set of tires on my old ‘02 Dodge Ram and was sitting in the waiting room while they put them on. There were about 8 or 9 other folks also waiting.

Big stack of magazines and newspapers - car magazines, hunting magazines, sports, Wall street Journal, etc.

Five of the people were fiddling with their smart phones - talking, texting, surfing the net.

It’s all about eyeballs. The advertising money follows the eyeballs.

The iPad is great for the bathroom. The only thing you can't do with it is wipe, unlike the magazines....
