The Front Porch

Does anyone (Comcast customers) think the "OnDemand" button on the remote is incredibly annoying? I'm always accidentally pressing it. Plus it's useless, since not only does everyone know it's on Channel 1, but I never use it.

Hmm... I wonder if some upgrade was sent to my cable box. I noticed that when I start my cable box, it now starts at the channel I last watched before I turned the box off, instead of always starting on channel 8. This is odd. I never changed the settings, nor did I know this feature was available before.

Anyone else had this happen to their box?

My box has been that way since digital came out in the 90's. Had no idea they could program the box to tune to a certain channel upon powering on.

LOL Gil, I've actually pressed that button accidentally more times than I can count. I do indeed find it quite annoying.

Channel 1? Here its channel 199 (at least when I press that button).

But I don't find the button annoying at all.

Yeah that's all they've been talking about on TV. I heard today that Palin says she dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween one year. How ironic is that!

So I'm thinking of ordering some USGS topo maps to hang up on my wall here at school as opposed to posters.

Its your room. You should hang whatever makes you happy.

You can hang posters in a dorm room? I thought people share dorm rooms in your college?

Yes, and they do.

Hey Billy you go to Millersville University right?

In my high school, they're giving out seniors applications to those going to Millersville University. I saw a BIG poster hanging in the principal's office about it. Must be a popular college.

Yes. I know a fair amount of people come here from the greater Philadelphia area, and some from New Jersey, but don't know of anyone coming from as far as Atlantic City.

I heard Millersville is a good college to go to. Some people tell me they might go there. I live about 60-90 minutes or so from there so it's not someplace where I'd go to and come back everyday. I'll likely start out at community college though, such as Bucks County one in Central Bucks.

[Localonthe8s]

I'll probably go to Richard Stockton College and drive to/back from there everyday. Then i'll go to a major college which is yet to be decided.

I wish I could go to college.

Is it too expensive for you?
