Just an FYI for those of you into watching feet in movies- just wanted to let you know that Netflix now offers free, instant, at-home viwing on your pc. You get an hour for every dollar of your monthly subscription.
Don't know any other particulars, such as rewind and pause capabilities. I'm fixing to try it today for the first time.
Addendum- just got this off a press release:
The new immediate viewing feature differs from current services in that it does not require the often lengthy downloading of a large video file. The Netflix feature uses real-time playback technology that allows video to be viewed at virtually the same time it is being delivered to a user's computer. Following a one-time, under-60-second installation of a simple browser applet, most subscribers' movie selections will begin playing in their Web browser in as little as 10 to 15 seconds. Movies can be paused and a position bar gives viewers the ability to immediately jump to any point in the movie. In all, the instant watching feature requires only Internet connectivity with a minimum of one megabit per second of bandwidth. The more bandwidth a consumer has, the higher quality the video displayed, ranging from the quality of current Netflix previews to DVD quality with a three-megabit-per-second connection.

Not employed, or compensated in any way...just can't beat something for nothing...
Unfortunately I've not been able to use it yet. Seems my on-the-motherboard video is not substantial enough to communicate properly and/or drive the Netflix viewer. Supposedly a new driver is coming out...others probably won't have this problem.

I wouldn't be able to stand watching movies on my laptop...currently I use Blockbuster because I live next to their store and get loads of free rentals trading in the envelopes
