My family is planning to “cut the cord” meaning ditch cable television. The cost of what is involved while still maintaining televised entertainment I believe would be recouped within six months.

Why This Matters
A few people have asked me now why porting archaic academic journal articles to ePub is important when they can usually be found as a PDF file, or at the excellent Biodiversity Heritage Library.
