"watch it on some cramped computer screen"

Why is your computer screen cramped? My livelihood and several hobbies depend on my computer keyboard and screen, I've designed and decorated appropriately.

My experience with the whole "throw away your TV" thing is that it works better as an effect, not a cause. What I mean is I don't watch much TV. Its boring, all hyper formulaic, narrowcasted while I'm not the narrow audience, seen it all before to the point of being sick of it. Its also way too passive for my personality... I'm supposed to sit here and watch other people do stuff, for endless hours? No way, is not happening. Then the effect kicks in... Oh I'd like another tropical fish tank, maybe if I get rid of that thing I never use...

My wife and kids are somewhat addicted to TV so I'm stuck with it now.
