I strongly think it's really unfair to deaf community if they cap it. Deaf people now use videoconference type of relay service to communicate with the world using videophone similiar to Dlink's i2eye. Check this link below to explain why it is a problem. The blogger in this link is deaf as well as I am and having broadband connection has been one of the greatest technological achievement for us deaf people because it allows us to be independent and better access to communication.
Here are an example of video relay service. http://www.sorenson.com/ That company is one of many company that provice service to deaf and hard of hearing community.
Since internet came into being, accessibility for the deaf has improved tremendously (Sidekick, Blackberry, videophone, videorelay,WWW,and etc etc) basically we deaf finally have equal access to information easily as hearing counterpart.
So Time Warner's plan to cap broadwidth will seriously offend deaf community (5gb/a month bandwidth is equal 3.5 hrs of video phone a month). I wouldn't be surprised if FCC is investigating this.
(I think i need to go take class to learn how to write better.....LOL )
Get rid of ALL of it.

Why bother with all that...throw/sell all of it and keep the computer and have DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM/HD for MP3, kick ass video card, SoundCard and you will have "FULL ENTERTAINMENT" in one box!!!!
Beside, having the whole entertainment kits will seriously hinder your study time!!! Get rid of all of it except computer (to write Thesis) and you will succeed, graduate with top honor which might lead you to lucrative job thats big salary... enough to buy all the entertainment center in the end!!!!!!!
It's my choice for DBs for my website since my website hosting co doesnt provide MySql or any DBs. It has all the XML modules you could use to use XML as database..... it's conveninece. It's very portable. And it's easy to read.
