Digital Transition

For the love of God! I am so sick and tired of hearing about the digital switch on Feb. 17. How many more times will they advertise on TV or run news reports on it? It has only been known for the better part of six fucking months. I would go out on a limb to say that 98% of the people in America know about it. For the remaining 2%, just let them figure it out. When they go to flip on the tube and only see snow, well they deserve it. Get with the times!

But the Awesome news is:

“In fact, even when it will happen is now uncertain. Last week, the incoming Obama administration asked to push back the conversion date, as a way to deal with snafus surrounding the change.

Chief among them: Millions of rabbit-ear holdouts who waited until the last minute to buy the boxes that turn the new digital signals into old analog signals have found that a government program to subsidize the purchases with $40 coupons has run out of money. People who want the coupons are now being put on a waiting list.” -- Michael Brush (MSN)

Procrastinators Unite....tomorrow!!

So it appears that my hopes of this passing are not coming too soon, woot!
