What We Own...and not pay Amazon or wait for Netflix!

It is OURS...as long as our Machines last...that is. Then we will be lost into the "Pay for View System.

I refuse to get rid of my old VHS Movies, Documentaries and the Rest of it. Hey...maybe I'm not "With It" for these times and should rely on the CLOUD..where I pay so I can buy back what I spent time recording...but, then... "Different Strokes for Different Folks.." I'm frugal and love all technology...but don't throw out the old just because there's something NEW that I pay more for.
