9. Funny thing, just tonight I was saying how fantastic streaming has become.

Even on our slow DSL, we finally can get good streaming, after years of poor buffering problems. The clarity of even lap top screens is better than the old tv we were used to.

We dumped Netflix dvd for their streaming side, and am finding tv series from all over the world.
Did you know...there is a Turkish tv series on the history of the Ottoman empire...it has ...get this..179 episodes and Netflix offers them all. 8.2 rating IMDB.

And...a new documentary on Roger Stone, which looks very well done, I will catch it later, cause I never watch politiclal stuff before bed.

We dumped tv shortly after Bush invaded Iraq, gave the old set away, and went to dvds and online for any news. then came streaming....very inexpensive compared to cable, all on demand, perfect for our retirement schedules.
between amazon and netflix, we will never run ut of things to watch, and I am thinking of maybe...the Brit box, or acorn, or....?
down the road.

technology meets the golden years....tis lovely.
