I think for Charlie in someways the journey to getting to be a billionaire and making DISH what it is today, was what he enjoyed. Remember the Charlie Chats and adding all the locals around the country? Now that he has reached that goal and he is 72, he might consider giving the company up...

My Next Gen Tablo did the same thing. I like it, but would prefer that we could still set the guides to what we prefer. Instead of their preset choices.

I got rid of my land line about 15 years ago. It simply doesn't make sense to have one since all that calls me on it was people trying to sell you crap or scam you. We just use our cell phones for everything.
