    Re: TV or the internet. Which could you give up for a year?

    I voted internet. Until within the past 4-5 years we did not have internet, but with my wife's college classes we have to have it. But if push came to shove I could do without it.

      I rarely watch the toob so it's technically gone already. Internet has been mainstay in my house for the past uhmmm...... somewhere between 15 and 20 years I think..... well back before the beginning of the WWW. I started when you did everything from a command prompt, telnet, smtp, finger etc. and the only access I had was by using a dumb terminal with a terminal node controller hooked up to a 2 meter ham radio rig, using ham frequencies to connect to a computer/radio at the local university. Years later we actually got an account so we could dial in to the university with computer and phone modem.... Ah, the good old days..... 300 baud acoustic was the norm and then we got the blistering fast 9600 baud........

      You can take my TV but you'll have to pry this keyboard from my cold, dead fingers!

          I picked internet. Just for one reason (NO MORE HOME IMPROVEMENT). I'm a huge Tim Allen fan and I watch the show alot. Plus I have a blackberry what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

            In these trying economic times I -had- to make a choice, and tv got the heave-ho...

            Actually to be quite honest, it was cable tv that got deleted, and I now have a spiffy tv antenna clamped to my deck railing that pulls in HD very nicely - with the only REAL problem being that the content is mostly God-TV/Spanish God-TV/commercials-r-us and genuine ****.

            About the only thing I watch is Charlie Sheen in 'Two and Half Men', and a few things now and again from hulu.com.

            I don't miss having 523 channels of 'nothing on'.

                  Sports would be the only problem.... I mean, I could use an excuse to go to the bar more often....

                    I vote to give up TV. I have 200+ channels and seem to watch Top Gear, Fox News, and reruns of Seinfeld. That's it.

                        Television was my vote. My kids lose TV prilivedges when their grades and chrores are not done and franky it gives me more time to detail my rides.

                          probably TV.
                          as long as I can still play GTA 4, midnight club LA, and watch movies, then I can live without cable or satellite.

                            If such a choice had to be made it would mean an end to life as we know it on this planet.

                              TV. My family (wife and 3 girls) went without tv for a year in 1998. Was hard a first but did'nt really miss it after about a month. Was the best year I think we had together. Spent alot more time with each for sure.

                                I can do without the internet, but not my TV. Too much good stuff on right now!
