1. If money was tight, which of the following would you be most likely to give up: cable television, internet access or your cell phone?

Cable/Satellite. No contest. I can watch online. ;-)

2. Of that same list, which would be least willing to part with?

Cell phone. I could use the net at work, but I have become very dependent on texting and calling whenever I 'need' to talk to someone.

3. Your car dies: the only car you can afford, without going into serious debt, is a demo model that doesn’t have working air conditioning or heat. Assuming that it cannot be fixed (or that you can’t afford the repair) could you get by with that car?

Well, I've driven a car like this in the past, so...sure. I figure as long as the engine, mechanical parts (brakes, cables, etc.), and tires are in great shape, then I'm good. Anyway, there would be no long trips in the winter, and that would save even more money!
By the way, why would a car like this be a demo?? Who'd buy that model? :-)

4. If remote controls ceased to exist tomorrow, would you watch less television or about the same amount?

I personally would choose to watch less. However, the reality of the situation is that I don't choose most of what we watch anyway, so things would probably dip only slightly.

5. Take the quiz: Which Remote Button Are You?

Like my other history-major friends, I was Play. Which made us ALL say, "huh?"

6. What percentage of mail that you send to friends and family is email versus snail mail? In a perfect world, which would you most prefer?

The only time I send snail mail anymore is Christmas and sympathy cards. Oh, and thank yous for the latter. I totally prefer sending electronic communication--email/Twitter/texting/etc.--hands down. I'm no longer patient enough to deal with snail mail.
