Why do you assume all of us are watching TV? Belive me, it is not true :-)
I prefer watching my fish tanks than some stupid TV-show or movie... :-)))

I'm with Pszemol. For our family, it's rare if the TV comes on more than a
couple of hours a week. And when that happens it's usually pretty
disappointing what's on there now a days :(

sure...xnews works for me, but needs some work on message threading and
read news history. just saw a usenet news server hosting ap that'll
handle 10k users. Of course I could just fire up virtual PC and run any
old windoze crap I need, but that would be a bit unfair to my poor old mac!

But on top of it, you would be extremally odd running Windows soft on Mac
instead of just using Windows PC :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
p.s. Aren't we "slightly" off-topic with this TV-Mac thread here? :-)

oddly enough...you're right!
oops, I've been frequenting some other usenet sites too much that thrive
on off topic banter.
I'll slink away with my tail between my legs now...

I don't mind. Just change the subject to "This Only Concerns Two of Us"

I was kidding about the 'can you view news with MAC'. I am used to harassing
all my friends who own them. My less than witty sarcasam doesn't make it
across
on the email :)

Pshaw. I, too, enjoy some non-USENET news servers ( my favorite,
Winextra, see my sig) that don't flame anyone who goes OT. I call it
normal human interaction, myself. I find this refreshing. IMO, if
someone doesn't like the OT thread, they should stop bloody reading
it!! <bg>

Doesn't matter. They are like bears at a campsite (except not as
intelligent)- but they will thrive on any scraps or garbage and keep coming
back for more. Starvation and deprivation are the only cures- unless you
want to beat them with a large stick (trolls-not bears). (-;
