I have a used desktop that I bought on ebay with Windows 7 on it.

I have an old analogue TV too and use rabbit ears and a signal converter box on it.

Between the TV and the links online on the desktop, I am getting a lot.

I pay $35 for a DSL connection.

I gave-up on the cable.

It has turned into a huge scam. Some are paying $600 a month for it with cable TV.

I can only afford so much but I manage some how.

Take care UndergroundPanther!
