OK guys, I'll admit I know nothing about US television, but I know for  
sure I won't pay the equivalent of $ 300 for buying a TV set and $ 50 for  
legally watching it (hey this is Holland :-). I have a NeXT; I can read  
newspapers - so what else do I need ? (You guessed it - a CD ROM with the  
Encyclopedia Brittanica). And don't try to sell me a car - physicists  
don't believe in these inefficient means of transport; bicycles have a 99  
% kinematic energy conversion coefficient (Well, this is only just aside  
of this article's main line :-)

No Disclaimers; a NeXT at home protects against this occupational hazard.
