Honest to God, this is like college where six people procrastinated and then begged the prof to move the deadline because they were slackers.
Doug. Could not agree more. Some news organizations are claiming it is 6 million people, while others are reporting that it is 6.5% of the population. In any event, when did digital television become a basic american right? I have often said that procrastination is the cause, not lack of education. It is time to flip the switch and move along.
