It's been around for nigh on six years now. In terms of consumer electronics, that's nearly forever. However, your point is well taken. How much better would it be to have a networked service that records your television shows for you, and that you could watch wherever you can find an internet connection? Like using GMail instead of Outlook, or Bloglines instead of NetNewsWire. The biggest difference, of course, is that watching television whilst sitting in front of a computer monitor is not nearly as pleasent as recliining on the sofa gazing blissfully at a 60" wide-screen television.

I'll do that too on my next flight. $9.95 for an hour is not bad in my eyes. I paid almost the same in each Internet Cafe when I was travelling Australia. (I will write about this trip soon) Wow, this is cool. I’ll do that too on my next flight. $9.95 for an hour is not bad in my eyes.
