Cool Crate Pic Here
I finally got my new computer today. It's a beast. I'll post the sordid details after I set it up, make sure it works, etc. and then post some specs and thoughts on it. It's an Origin PC (I believe they used to own Alienware before selling that to Dell?).
In addition to getting rid of cable, I'm also stopping DVD's from Netflix and only using their streaming. New stuff takes too long and I can just rent it on the cheap, on the fly, from the numerous companies on my Xbox and PS3. Now I'm down to $7.99/month for Netflix, $7.99/month for HuluPlus, and around $60.00 for cable internet (with turbo boost! 
. Not a huge saving, but I was finding myself trying to find DVD's that I haven't watched yet and most were available in streaming or some other venue. I can always add back receiving DVD's at any time, if I change my mind.
We have zero cable tv…only cable internet. I pay for streaming and one dvd from Netflix and $7.99/month for Hulu Plus. Right around a $100/month savings and I don't miss my cable tv or DVR one bit.
Others said their internet bill went up when they cancelled their cable lost their "bundle deal" but mine only went up a couple of dollars (great deal, huh?)
I can't wait until someone comes here to compete with Time-Warner (I don't want DSL). Hoping on lower costs, faster speeds, and/or both. Time-Warner's monopoly here needs to end. Now.
Puking has stopped. Must have been the stress. Maybe the change of food, too. Maybe ate too much, while we were learning how much to feed him. Biggie though is the puking stopped
He's happy and healthy and we love him very much!
