Smoothly Functioning Technology

We've now enabled 30-second skipping through recorded programming. This is real skipping: The advert doesn't speed up, it disappears, & the program is 30 seconds farther along w/in the proverbial blink.

We'll be zooming through such masterworks as Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber Insects, The Big Sleep, & Into the Universe W/ Hawking, among other middle-brow trivia, even faster than before.

The mystic knowledge of the secret words had to be researched, you realize. TWCable wouldn't volunteer it. Suspicious Internet minds speculate that advertising-supported broadcasters & cable channels may suggest to the cable providers that allowing consumers to use their wands as they wish would not be a good thing.

    Not bloody likely! We are still thrilling to messing w/ "live" tee vee.

    No time to torrent; Big Project is leaving the bunker sometime this wk. to buy blank DVDs, so we can recycle stuff from our vast library of decaying videotape.
