Windows – Marginalize : You have to have at least one machine with it on it, cause you have to use it. That said, you don’t have to care about it. The windows install on my Dell desktop has nothing of value on it. Everything of importance is on a Mac backed up via TimeMachine.

Bank of America – Minimize : In this modern world, you need convenient access to an ATM. Bank of America has the most ATMs, but they have just about the worst terms and interest rates. Thus the work around is to, split the direct deposit paycheck between them and an online bank that has a decent return, piping just enough cash to Bank of America to not trigger any fees.

ATT – Minimize : Skype and email

Time Warner – Minimize : Bounce between DSL and EarthLink.

Cable TV – Marginalize: Hulu

Hulu on the PS3 – WorkAround: Squid
