Subject: RE: BS: June'10 Declutter & Exercise Accountability
I tried to pick up a small DVD player that would convert my older DVDs up to the 1080p size of the new television. The one I wanted was the last one at that store, a floor model, great price, but when I got it home, it wouldn't open the little door to put the disc in. So I did more research. I've been thinking about getting something to download NetFlix - my son has a game player that will, but I never have it around for my viewing. I watch NetFlix in my office on the computer. So when I started doing the math I was able to find a modestly priced BluRay player that connects to the Internet for NetFlix and plays the DVDs as well as BluRay (I've never had one of those here, but I think I can borrow them through NetFlix).
This came to about $100 more than I planned to spend, so I'm going to commit myself to selling enough stuff on eBay to cover that. It's one way to convince myself to get moving and sell some of the clutter that is sitting around here!
It logged on easily, it updated itself, and it works great. I haven't given it the NetFlix info yet, but I'll do that this evening. See what's out there.
For exercise today, I'm about to take the dogs for a nice evening walk.
