Was just doing a 1970's flashback, might want to think about retiring in some low cost haven somewhere, or open a chain of those sexy coffee stands to just be able to afford cost of living today.

Nov 8th 1972 .......... HBO (Home Box Office), made its debut as the first "pay cable" television channel. On its first evening of programming, it showed the film Sometimes a Great Notion to 365 subscribers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, followed by an NHL game (the New York Rangers' 5–2 win over Vancouver). Each household paid an additional $6.00 per month to Service Electric Cable TV for the service
