I have been using NetFlix since last May. Approx 9 months now. So far it has
cost me slightly less than $180.00. I have received 227 movies. About 79
cents each. I average just over 6 per week on the 3 out plan. Sometimes
less if there is a Federal Holiday or a movie is sent from a distant
distribution center.

When should I expect NetFlix to start SCREWING ME????
