Netflix: Part 8: The Return of the DVD



One of the guys from the WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic LInk) wrote quite an amusing inquiry into the vagaries of Netflix. If you don't know what Netflix is, it's a dvd rental service made possible by the internet and the US Mail. You select and create a queue of movies you'd like to see, and they mail them to you. You can have them out as long as you like. Depending on your level of service, you can have 3-5 dvd's out at a time.


Anyhow, his investigation intoNetflix makes excellent reading. I haven't used the service myself, (my discretionary income level is just a little too small), but several of my friends use the service in Rhode Island.


Check it out!
