  ~shrug~  My crystal ball is broken, and they don't parts for it
anymore.  :)  So far, They(TM) seem to be pretty serious about this
latest 2009 date, but who knows what will happen?

  I guess a bunch of tax dollars are going to be allocated for buying
external digital tuners for people, so those of us with more modern
hardware will be subsidizing the Luddites.  Very generous of us.  :)
