Who has time for TV?  I think I see about 2 hours a week anymore.  One 
hour of that is news because I don't have time to read the paper.

I'd *love* to buy more books.  Maybe O'Reilly should move most of their 
operations to Bangalore so their books don't need to cost $40-$60 a pop 
and I could afford more. ;-)  Probably a good amount of my "copious" spare 
time is spent learning new skills, reading books, expanding my mind to be 
a better BOFH.  The high price of books does force me to more carefully 
select what subjects I'm going to study and how often I can buy a new 
book.
