I thought it stunk, and I don't steal movies. All I have to do is wait
3-6 months and they are either on television or DVD rentals.

I download Doctor Who and Torchwood from BBC. Doctor Who is on Sci-Fi
but Torchwood is on a digital channel I can't get.
I spent over $3,000 a few years back buying 3 sets of 27" NTSC
televisions, VCR's, and DVD players (NTSC only), so I am not hurrying to
buy 3 HDTV setups or converters.

I would. I deal with suit crowd more than I like. Sweats are fine for me
to work in at home.

I'm such small fish I am wondering why they bothered at all.

My boss asked (err, told) me to install that setup since the guy was a
major customer. He owned 12 charter boats and bought all his electronics
at the place I worked. Since he assured the boss that he would only be
monitoring his charter boats for an emergency, it was a go. The customer
was yakking all over Silicon Valley like a kid with a cell phone and
when he got nailed by the FCC he lied and told them we said it was OK.

600+ words per minute, a little slower upside down or in a mirror.
My dad was a printer/proofreader so he brought home things like the
print plates after an overnight printing run.

IDIOT.
There are no signs, except on the fence that says "Do not trespass".
That means if you climb the fence you can be shot.
That means the highway is a public road and not under their jurisdiction.
Again....IDIOT.

On a bicycle? I wish! I haven't driven a car for 1.5 years, by choice.
Gas prices = bad.
Exercise = good.

Again, IDIOT!
Beale AFB is over 10 square miles, maybe a lot more and they are
directly in the way of the mountains I like to ride in.
All the roads to get around are bordered by their fence, with signs.
Too far OT, and this damn thing is cross-posted.
