    Ahh, that's why it's $4. I kept waiting for the low price to expire.

    I do a search for canceling that business, before I sign up. If I see a bunch of horror stories, then it's time to walk away.

    It must be fascinating and challenging to work on the Netflix CORE team. 37% of evening web traffic under your control. Wow.
