"because you live in the middle of nowhere... and get 3 channels off an antenna"

Hey, hey, hey . . . lets watch that. I didn't have any TV for last 6-7 years.

"because some huskies chewed through your cable" - more likely wolves or coyotes. Rich

So... let me get this straight... the real reason you haven't seen anything is because you live in the middle of nowhere... and get 3 channels off an antenna because some huskies chewed through your cable!?!..... 3 local channels off an antenna

Ian, you know how to read?

First I said temporarily, go and look it up in a dictionary.

Second, I wrote "the three main TV networks", not local channels, but "three main networks", comprende?

Thirdly, although I was aware of different editions for Europe and America I was unaware that Business Week, PC Magazine, The Economist, Forbes, Time had one edition for "New York, NY" and another for "the middle of nowhere".

That explains it. Here I am, readying my "middle of nowhere" Economist edition devoid of iMac ads, while IanBruce sits in "New York, NY" having to search for the articles in a magazine awash with advertisements from Apple.
