Netflix

As I mentioned in my last post, I signed up for a trial membership with Netflix. I have seen the cheesy ads for years and have heard word of mouth reviews, but never really considered it since we don't rent a lot of movies. Well, until lately, that is.

Signing up was extremely simple and painless. I filled out some basic personal information, gave a credit card number and I answered a few surveys about my choice of movies. That's it, that simple. I could have watched a movie on my computer literally not even five minutes after I began the process! However, I was on my iPod Touch and we all know how stingy Apple is with add-ons.

After the wife went to bed, I eagerly broke out my netbook to watch my first flick. I had to install Microsoft's Silverlight, but that was easy.

I looked over the suggestions Netflix had picked out for me and settled on "Step Brothers". I clicked Play and began to watch my movie. I opted for the wide screen (even my little 10 inch), kicked back and watched my movie!

It was almost too easy. Definitely worth the effort and trial. I recommend it highly.

Now, I just need to have my wife try it and see if we can use it for a few paid months!
