Ted.....any tattoos? You do wear your cap w/the bill facing foward? or......?

Just kidding, please take it in gest. But I would agree on the "too much" statement. That would be about 30 seconds...maybe a little less actually.

Seriously, did anyone else get the following email from XM? I suppose it came from Sirius also, but we've been XM from the beginning. Probably 3 yrs now. Didn't someone question rate increases following a merger?

We are offering select subscribers like you, who have multiple subscriptions, a special opportunity to lock in the current low rate on their additional radio subscriptions. On March 11, 2009, the monthly rate for your discounted subscriptions will increase from $6.99 per month to $8.99 per month upon renewal.* You can lock in the current discounted monthly rate of $6.99 by choosing longer-term plans - but only if you act quickly. And if you renew now, you can continue to listen online, FREE for the length of term you choose. Effective March 11, 2009, the online listening platform will be upgraded to a higher quality digital audio and no longer included as part of a base subscription at no charge. Save with Longer Subscription Plans. Depending on the Subscription Package and Plan you choose for each radio, you could enjoy an average annual savings of more than $90.00 with two radios on an Annual Plan if you act now. Save even more with two- and three-year plans. Rest assured, any credits on the account from payments made earlier will be applied to your renewal - you'll only be charged the difference.
