Not too far from the truth. Recently passed legislation means we'll have to file 1099's for every entity we do business with now. Previously that excluded corporations. Spend more than $600/year with Schaff? You'll have to file 1099 now. Not to mention that they can monitor every bank transaction if they wish. It's to keep us safe, of course.

But if you use it to watch a ball game, or your favorite soap, then you can only deduct that percentage of time you watch the DVD. Kind of like your car. I figure that 80% of my time I drive my car is for business purposes. The other 20% is for personal use.
