In America's fourth largest city, we were without power for 1-3 weeks around town.
And yet we are supposed to all get electric cars that we charge up off power from our house...
And the people without power? They got gas burning generators.
Buy your movies off the internet. Download them to your PC, DVR or a thumb drive and play on your plasma TV. DVD players are going away too.
I just transferred six CD-ROMs of computer business records to one 8GB thumb drive and it's only 2/3 full.
I haven't bought a music CD in several years. Why pay $14 when you can download the 3 songs on the album you like from Rhapsody? You pay $0.99 each or $14 per month for unlimited. Two days ago I downloaded a couple of playlists from Rhapsody that amounted to almost 10 hours of music and not a bad song in the bunch.
I still wear a watch, though, but I only have 4 now - 2 Tag Heuers, a Cartier, and a Seiko.
