Well, it's final. The end has come, again, the end of an era. At midnight, without a warning, The Tonight Show went to commercial and never came back. I got a lot of really cool pictures kind in a fateful kind of way. I took some shots of the DTV directional/informational programming that will likely set a worlds record for infomercial length. Anyway, I noticed some of the captions were kind of funny, especially being viewed on a 1956 model TV. One says, "television has not yet been upgraded to digital" (NO SH*T), and the other says, "continue watching free television." I'm going to post these for fun. If anyone has any interesting "end of an era" screen shots please post them.

P.S. This is 40 minutes later. I just did the photo upload (dialup). Just four pics!!
