Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks. During the winter I don't rent a lot at all, but now that school is out, I was getting about 20 movies a month on the 5 at a time plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, they do say this:

In determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service. As a result, those subscribers who receive the most movies may experience next-day shipping and receive movies lower in their queue more often than our other subscribers.

in their terms of service. Still, even when I was plugging through three or four a week, my turnaround time was three business days -- it was rare they didn't send me a receipt e-mail within 24 hours of me putting the disc in the mail.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Netflix held 2 movies from me last month for 4-5 days.

Five at a time now, but I have been up to eight and down to three at various points.

I sort of wish they would take into account that from October - April, i probably got 30 movies total!

Perhaps, after moving, I'll up to the 8, though...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, Beau was watching close to 3-5 movies a week on the 4 at a time plan. You see why we got throttled.

We are now on the 5 at a time plan and Beau is getting pissed that he can only see 2 movies a week (I am seeing 2 movies a week too).

Sophia,

FYI...I actually cancelled Netflix last year for 3-4 months because I was busy moving. So usually around the time the Fall season starts, I cancel Netflix for a little while.

Sounds like Toast Titanium 6 will do what you want it to do and perhaps give you a bit better feedback about it than iDVD.

Thanks! I'll give that a try tonight.

Hmm. Don't know about those -- I'll check. Or, if you want, you can give *me* the files, and I can burn the DVDs.

I may take you up on that if Plans A and B don't pan out this evening. (Plan B is hooking the laptop to the DVR and copying that way.)

Though I am hoping Plan A works because I'd really like to be able to burn usable DVDs myself with my laptop.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There are rumors of a leaked Tiger OSX for Intel version on torrent sites, but There are also a number of people crying "bs!"

Not really up for the effort.
