I wanted to share my opinion about the Netflix story you talked about the other day. I think the Netflix price hike is fair and that too many people are just complaining to be a pain in the butt. I mean, where else can you get such an awesome collection of movies for online and DVD viewing? Even at $20 a month, it’s still a great deal that others like Blockbuster can’t beat.

Love the show,
