This isn't right

It doesn't seem quite right to me, that I live 5 minutes from the largest city in New Hampshire and this is my selection of TV stations.
OTA TV Stations for Southern NH
Essentially, ABC and PBS. A population of around 100,000 people in Manchester alone, maybe 250,000 in a 50 mile radius and this is the best we can do. I'm really about 45 miles north of Boston and I can get only one of the major networks. Shouldn't all major metropolitan areas receive the basic broadcast channels of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and Fox? How is this possible? I'm sure this is NOT what we had in mind when the digital changeover was legislated. We can do better. And no, I don't consider cable and satellite companies as better; I should not have to shell out $1,000/year for internet and broadcast television stations.

Paradigm Switches

Sometimes in life, you just need to switch things up. You realize you've been doing things either just a little less efficiently or outright wrong and you just need to make a jump into something different... I hit this point over the last year and finally had the guts to make a major change. Yes, I bought a Mac Book Pro. Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
