Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

We shall prevail.

Got bored and did a little wallpaper of mom in the PlanEx ad which is a direct reference to Apple's 1984 ad, directed by Ridley Scott and first aired during the Super Bowl. People kept wondering what Apple was trying to sell with that ad. It turned out that the Macintosh was a personal home computer.

just figured I'd put this here: about ratings
There are an estimated 105.5 million television households in the USA. A single ratings point (left number) represents 1%, or 1,055,000 households for the 2001-02 season. Share is the percentage of television sets in use tuned to a specific program (right number).
