One time when I lived in the capital city of my state,I actually got fed up with cable TV,and I actually snipped the cable with wire cutters,and cancelled the service.
The guy who came to my apartment to end the service asked me why I cut the cable cord. I forgot what I said. Down the road I ended up ordering cable service again because of boredom,and I take the bad with the good. That was before I bought a computer. BF
