> It is a all encompassing thing. The computer internet has replaced the phone, writing letters, reading books, watching movies and listening to the radio. It is a device. Left up to my own devices I can't do better.

I still prefer a variety of devices over the package deal concept which can be dangerous and costly. Funny the give and take of everything. Sure, who wants to go back to working the roof antenna for better reception, one guy below, the other up top yelling, "How's it look now?", the guy below responding, "Right there, right there - that's it!" But there were advantages to the old way - a certain freedom. You come in with a TV and all you're concerned with is, "Where do I want to put it?" And then you put it there, its location is not dictated by a bunch of holes some utility company put in your walls. Of course with everything coming through a single device everything will go down all at once. But wait, we're talking about new and improved stuff, right? I forgot, the really good new and improved stuff never goes down. It lasts forever.

I like the computer. I suppose we are not alone. Many use it only for a few things. But yes some people live on it. They are trending. And once again I am left behind. Oh by the way, speaking of living creatively, I haven't done my laundry in over a month again so tonight I am taking 7 briefs, 7 sleeveless tees, and 7 regular tees down to the laundromat where I will spray them with a vinegar/water solution before putting them in the dryer on high for 30 minutes to an hour. I have done it before. No washing, just hot drying plus the solution. Stuff comes out great. I learned it on the web. Just kidding, I thought of it myself. But then I pump a few choice words into the google bar and found I was not alone. Others were discussing ways to 'clean' clothes without washing them. My method was mentioned.
