hehe, you obviously don't have kids, do you?

It has some decent stuff, Nova is usually interesting, and I don't know if they still air Monty Python but my life would be much duller if I hadn't seen it...

BTW most of PBS's funds come from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (a non-profit corporation), from corporate sponsors, "and viewers like you," as they're fond of reminding you twice a year during the pleas for funds.

Do they really do that? I thought it was just the Simpsons taking the piss. Oh dear, that's slightly scary...

W00t, ditto. My block counter's up to 227 already... a lot more than I expected for about a week's usage.

I hardly ever watch TV, so I won't have to worry about TV bills.

Although someone told me that you need a TV licence to use a computer monitor... or does that only apply to CRTs?

I don't update them or manage them.  Thats Remora's area....I don't even want to try and root around in the Archives actually.  Its definately not managed like the rest of the site.  Its its own separate system on its own separate server actually.
