Well, I have...Love that Young Frankenstein clip. <br /><br />Well, I have a twenty-one year old computer geek/gamer living in the house, so my cable bill's about 250 a month. Cox cable. Insane. <br />He just got an I-Phone 4. With Siri. The helpful assistant voice-recognition thingy. Pretty amazing, have to say, but I keep on seeing dollar signs. Guess I really am fifty after all. Next it's 'hey you damn kids, get off my lawn!'<br /><br />Roku? Never heard of that. I'll have to google it now.Saint Brian the Godlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902151482640409544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746564418600302090.post-69141455483390544512011-11-25T10:40:25.264-08:002011-11-25T10:40:25.264-08:00Hard to know.
