I download movies at the library onto a flash drive. At home I copy them onto an external hard drive. I currently have almost a thousand movies. Right at this minute I'm downloading The Silver Fleet(1943). Does Netflix have that?
I've had my home computer for more than ten years and it wasn't new when I bought it. It has 2 Gigabytes of RAM and a 40 Gigabyte hard drive.
I have two coffee-makers, a three-cup drip and a one-cup drip. I buy whatever brand of ground coffee is on sale. I have never had a Starbucks coffee.
I have never owned a microwave.
I have only had a bank card for a few years and I only got it because my last employer insisted on online banking. Before that, I never even carried ID - I did all of my banking on my signature alone.
No, I'm not a Luddite. Nor am I a faddist.

Another TV show that's MIA is Men Into Space (1959-1960)....
I remember that too. We only had one channel at the time.
And I remember the headlines of John Glenn's first orbital flight in 1962.

Re: Pullbacks in the name of the almighty dollar
... the main purpose of these devices is the experience of exploring and discovering how to do things. And that I was making a big mistake by depriving myself of the joys of that experience.
