You might call it a Netflix moment: when you first glance at the little red envelope in your mailbox.

It’s a nice feeling after a long day of work.

For those of you who use Netflix, you’ll know the feeling. For those of you who don’t, you’re missing out. It’s all the advantages of being at the rental store, without the sticky carpet, long lines, and the inevitable “rental-itus” (if you don’t decide in the first 30 seconds, you’ll be there for a month).

If you don’t know how Netflix works, it’s like this:

- You sign up for an account and pay a monthly flat rate. (We pay about 10 bucks.)

- Depending on the rate you pay, you can have one, or more than one movie “checked out” at a time. (We have the one-at-a-time plan, which means that we keep one movie as long as we want.)

- You pick out your movies online (or from the iPhone).

- When you mail back one movie, you get the next one (on the top of your list) in the mail in about 2 days.

It’s amazing and well worth the ten bucks.

Today’s movie: “After the Wedding” - I’ll let you know how it is.
