I did, but penicillin cured it!

No, but seriously, it's a Netflix appliance that for $99 friggin dollars is going to allow you to stream. I would recommend (esp. if you have any kids/grandkids in the family or if YOU are a gamer) that you instead invest in something like an XBOX (or similar multi-function device) that will let you do the same thing for free. Consider "roku" your coupon to get "$100 off on your next XBOX purchase". Not to sound like a Microsoft Fanboy, but there are so many multi-function devices out there, that I'd hate to see you drop a cool $100 on a device that only allows you to see Netflix (TM) Streaming Movies and nothing else.

Gawd, I hope this didn't offend anyone...! I sorta "get going" when I get going...
