Roku?

Since it has been a long time since I bought a DVD (probably about 2 years when I broke the habit) and since it has been almost as long since I watched a DVD I physically owned I don't really care if "ownership" is more of a lease.

And since I can count on two hands the number of movies I have seen 7 or more times (about the ratio between buy price and rent price on Amazon.com) I doubt that I would even do that.

In fact, I'm finding that is true of almost everything digital or available in digital form. I don't want to own it. I don't want it taking up space in my house. I won't remember where I put the file. I probably won't ever even look at the file again. And if such an unlikely need does arise I'll just pay for the privilege again (that was always my policy on paperbacks too, read and dump; if I needed it again in the future I'd go buy another copy; that almost never happened).

So I understand why some people don't like it but I'm proving pretty happy with the new structures.
