Mildly funny.
Regardless, I'd never sign up for such a business like Netflix.
"Throttling," dealing with the likelihood of postal screwups, large
percentage of damaged discs - screw that. I just don't understand anyone who
can defend a company like Netflix that knowingly makes claims that they do
not fully honor regardless of customers who might take full advantage of
such advertised claims.
The corner video store is good enough for my dvd rental requirements.
There's just something to be said for walking in, finding what they have in
stock, making a couple selections and paying for them and leaving with them.
Any obscure, rare movie I may want to watch that no one locally carries,
I'll just buy it say, off an eBay seller, watch it at my leisure and resell
it at some point later if I want to unload it.
T.B.
