What is going to be plugged into that soon-to-be-vacant channel on my cable TV lineup?

If you're lucky, you'll get RFD-TV as a replacement. It’s the farming and agriculture channel. Be sure to catch the “Polka Fest" show -- it's a big hit.

POS? Could be "Point Of Sale" but more likely ...

Piece
Of

So you've led a bit of a sheltered life? ;-)

This a tragic loss for all three of their viewers.


Huh. Must have had a sweeps week and picked one up somewhere.

Missed that one.

What business does a "software maker" have owning a "news service"? MS should put all their attention into becoming a good and reliable "software maker" -- instead of mucking around outside their "core competency"...

Sorry, didn’t mean for the double post...POS is an internet acronym for piece of sh!t.

That’s probably a higher assessment than that so-called news channel deserves.

No, can't say for sure why I did not pick up on that but a sheltered life is sure not one of them he he.

That would be so awesome! Just the sound of exploding heads in Redmond would drown world!

I am a conservative working part-time for Microsoft. Suffice to say I’m in the minority....
