A bill has just passed the US House of Representatives, which will require TV stations to broadcast in digital only beginning in February 2009. Which means that if you have an old style TV it will not receive anything over the air after that date. Congress is planning on offering vouchers to help purchase converters to keep our old sets running. But apparently the converters won't be free.

I have no idea where this is going to leave Canadians.

It will be expensive. I'll buy a new Palm. I've been waiting on that for a while because I'll have to upgrade software, particularly my filemaker program because I keep a data base of the books I own on my palm so I check to make sure I don't already own the book (I have a ton of duplicate copies).

This year I bit the bullet and bought the camera I've been lusting after. Next year (or the year after) for the computer
