I grew up without TV. There is still no TV in my parents house. I do not own a TV. (15min of writting and erasing) I was going to write a coherent explanation of why I find life without TV much nicer than with, but it is more effort than it is worth. Suffice it to say that except for an occasional offering, I find life as portrayed on the tube at odds with the way want to live my life. Should I ever raise children I hope I will provide them with more interesting ways to grow up then just watching TV. -- Todd Olson ARPA: olson@lasspvax -- or -- olson%lasspvax@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu UUCP: {ihnp4,allegra,...}!cornell!lasspvax!olson US Mail: Dept Physics, Clark Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853
