I'm A Cable TV Dropout

I have lost all respect for television. Especially cable TV. Generally, I do little more than channel surf during my free time, rarely watching any program from start to finish. The fact is, television offers little programming that is truly worthwhile anymore. However, the cost of cable programming is creeping towards $1000.00 per year if you include any premium channels. That's too much money to pay for something I derive no satisfaction from. Well, I've decided to do something about it. I've cancelled my cable tv, and become a Netflix subscriber. For about $6.00 per month, I get 2 movies on DVD sent to me by mail and access to one movie online. That's all I have time for. The beauty of it is that I am now seeing the sort of quality movies and documentaries I want to see (and when), and saving big bucks in the process. Saving close to $900 per year has never been so entertaining! Are there any other cable dropouts out there?
