If God meant us to have +1 channels he wouldn't have given us PVRs.


That chimes with a saying I often used to use 30 years ago whenever
someone had the temerity to ask why I ever bothered with an IBM PC
clone. It went like this:

"If I wanted to _pay_ for my software, I wouldn't have a bought a PC
now, would I?".

I suppose I could have just as easily rephrased that sentiment as:

"If God had meant us to pay for our software, he wouldn't have given
us the IBM PC." :-)
