I lived in the US and after a while I hated TV so much that on our
return to the UK we lived without a TV for several years. Then I
was given a DVD for Christmas, which I need a DVD player and some
kind of viewing device. At the time a TV was the best option which
is why we ended up with one. I almost never actually watch
anything on TV because I'm so ad phobic and it's mostly rubbish.

Anyway I'm still not a PC, and I'm still a free man!
