There is a real easy way to get rid of all your cable tv hassles.
Unsubscribe!  I did and Ive been happier ever since.  No more monthly
cable bills, no ugly boxes, I can use all the functions on my VCR, and
with the new shows coming out on Fox, Im still entertained even though I
only get 10 channels.

My mother is looking into buying a special printer that cuts letters out
of a vinyl (with sticky back) type material.  Shes a 'graphic
technician' who needs the machine to do 'lettering'.

The one she is currently looking at comes with a hand scanner (it will
scan in and print images on vinyl too) and the special printer.  She
must supply an IBM Compatible XT or better.

This system costs 2300 and we were wondering if anyone knew of other
vinyl cutting systems or anyway to adapt a regular printer to this.

She only has 2500 in her budget at work and has no XT computer so she
would need to buy a computer too.

thanks!


Missy

ps.  Can systems like this be bought mail order?

I'll unsubscribe when Ren&Stimpy are available elsewhere than MTV and Nick...

Give it a year or so Kari.  Im sure they will have Ren and Stimpy reruns
on the free channels, or either available at your local video stores :)

I do miss Discovery Channel though.  Too bad they dont let you purchase
channel by channel.

One of the provisions of the new Cable Bill just passed into law is
that services will have to be offered channel by channel in the future.
Unfortunately, the cable companies have 10 years to do this and even
then, it will probably not be enforced.

Best bet is to have Baby and Ma Bell fiber optic to your door to force
true competition and offer services and selections WE want, not what
brings them the highest profit margin in the monopolized business of
today.
