    I can't believe that people would quibble over paying $10.00/ month for
this.  I'm by no means rich... lower middle class really, but this is about
what you'd pay for a movie and a coke.  People don't balk at paying $10.00
for 2 hours of entertainment, but complain when they pay the same amount for
something that will likely entertain them for upwards of 20-100 hours a
month?!?  <Boggles>
