Only 800?

Gunther and I decided to sign up for Zip, essentially the Canadian version of Netflix. So, he went in and queued up a few DVD's to ship, then told me to go in and rent what I wanted...

It only took me a few hours to find out that the maximum you can queue up is 800. And it's rather easy to do that when you're renting a number of TV series seasons. Something that's 4 discs is considered 4 seperate rentals. Well, that sucks!

Then I thought about it. Given that we have a maximum we can have out at a time, and the time it takes to ship a disc to us and then back, it would probably take 4 years to see 800 discs anyways.

*Sigh* So much for the M*A*S*H series, or the old Doctor Who's, Xena, Red Dwarf and the Thundercats. And then I thought to myself - I'd be the only one watching it anyways.

...so then I rented it all again :)

Yeah, I gave up on Netflix cuz we kept forgetting to send stuff back. The hubster likes the old Dr. Who too.
