[Blindtlk] Netflix, Jaws, and drop-down boxes.

[Mike Freeman]

Hi, Judy.

I'm afraid I have no answers for you. Frankly, I'm rather hesitant to look
for movie/show download sites as many, many, many of them have malware they
just *love* to put on peoples' machines for spammers who would like nothing
better than to play havoc with computers and spam the universe.

ThanksMike.  Can you suggest a good accessible similar site?  I've checked 
Blockbuster, but their Blockbuster On Demand app is not accessible, and 
their plans aren't as good, although they have a wider selection of viewing.

Thanks.

Judy
