- Redbox: 10 rentals for a total of $10.17
- Coffee Shops: 2 visits (I may have missed a third) for a total of $10.52
- Best Buy: One season of Entourage and the Wall Street double pack for a total of $57.76
- iPhone usage of 1.6 GB of data, the most I have ever used by far
The result from this experiment is that I really do not miss access to the Internet that much. I miss it of course, but I still can not justify $55 a month for cable Internet.
The implications are that I do not plan to have cable for a long time, while I miss having quick access to the Internet, I have it on my phone, at work, at the public library, at the laundry mat, and at a number of coffee shops. The interesting thing is that I probably used my computer less since moving to Dubuque than I have in the whole time I have owned it. I suppose that is not surprising considering that I spend 8-9 hours a day in front of a computer at work. Sitting in front of the computer at home does not always seem like relaxing.
So the trend will continue. With the money that I save, I'll probably buy a down suit. No kidding.
