I like that. ;) I'd be happy to pay for a cable subscription that only included about 3 channels... but I don't think they'd go for it. Nickel and diming ourselves into wealth. I like that. ;)

If my employer were enlightened enough to promote telecommuting for jobs (like mine) that are 100% on the computer and where I use email for communication with people ten feet away I would save $2500/year at current prices. I would happily split the difference so we both would profit. Other ways to nickel and dime ourselves into wealth would include eliminating TV. That way we could save the money spent on hardware, drop the cable or satellite subscription, reduce electricity costs and avoid the temptation to spend caused by advertising. Best of all, we would miss inane "news" stories like this one. :=) Forget coffee - let’s target the big stuff.
