Netflix Movies

As some of you know, Tracy and I are TV-less. We've been that way since we lived in Holland... when Tracy took out the cable wire accidentally with back-hoe equipment. We kept the TV for a while for movies, but never moved it out to Everett. Now we have two computers-- a laptop and a desktop with big flat-screen monitor for watching movies.

As a treat last fall, we signed up for Netflix. With Netflix, you pick out your movies on-line, and they get shipped to your home. When you are done watching them, they go back in the mail... and then they ship another. We only get one movie at a time, but you can sign up for any amount. You can build up a list of movies you want to see, watch previews on-line, and even watch some movies instantly on your computer. It is pretty fun. We pay about $8 a month.

This week, I received a "refer-a-friend promotion" in the email. It gives you a free 30-day trial. Normally they only offer a two-week trial, so its kinda a good deal. Let me know if you are interested in it... I'll email it to you!
