Gee, actually I find  a lot of interesting stuff on PBS here. They have
this show which takes you to all these interesting places. The fish
cannery can be more fascinating than you think. I'm not joking. Of course
my favorite places that they went to was the Long Beach Naval Yard to see
the Antietam (CG-54)getting overhauled and Camp Pendelton.
Unfourtunately, they were only at Pendelton to look at quanzid (sp?
Walski?) huts. And then there's Nova. My city even has it's own PBS and
the so does Cox Cable. Mostly they feature community news and C-Span type
stuff. They also show instructional videos. They also show the good
episodes of Family Feud with that guy who killed himself last year. I
love that show.

Here in LA there are at least two all Japanese channels that do show
anime on occasion. I haven't been able to figure out their schedule and I
hardly ever tune there. I'm told they show a lot of Dragonball. I just
don't understand Japanese. Give me subtitles at least. Maybe they do show
Ranma if I really started looking.

Possible since you're doing the same thing I am. I'm sitting at home in
my room doing homework and checking my mail at exactly twelve before. I
have my own computer sitting on( and in) my desk along with a secondary
line.
