Crisis Averted? Maybe

Most of you probably didn't even notice, but the long awaited digital tv conversion took place on Friday. Most of you didn't notice, because you would have to be a complete and utter idiot to not have been prepared for it. They postponed it, there are multiple commercials a day about it, the President spoke about it, their have been articles and full page ads in the newspaper, there are coupons available to get a converter easily, if you have cable it doesn't affect you, if you bought a tv in the last 2 years it doesn't affect you, and there have been tests on the local news to see if you are ready for the switch.

Despite all this there are many people who freaked out about it and are worried of a coming armegedon or even a government conspiracy at work. Here is a good blog that looks at the idiocy of the conversion problems on Friday.
