This is a great show. The reason they probably do not show Season 1 is because
it is on Netflix, and it may be a licensing issue.
SyFy was re-running The Expanse right up until the day that Amazon Prime took it over a month or so ago. They got up to about midway through Season 3. I was really hoping they'd finish that season (the most-recent one) before they had to cut it off. :(

Ahhh-ha! I don't have Netflix so I did not know.

The best season. Got a friend with a Plex server and like 20TB of storage, I re-watched a few episodes in preparation for s04. Can't wait.
Friends with Plex servers are great. Or so my friends tell me about my 42TB server ;)
The only reason it's not bigger is that I'm out of space to add more hard drives to my server case.

I run a Plex server at home, and I have some movies and TV shows on it, but I haven't had the desire to load it up with a ton of stuff. The more it has, the more things you have to scroll through when selecting something to watch. And after watching a movie with Plex or watching a whole run of a TV show, I've removed some of them to save space and keep it uncluttered.
I find it interesting, the ways we watch movies these days. Optical discs and players seem to be on the decline, but I still think the disc formats are one of the easiest ways to watch movies, especially if you're renting. You just have to put in the disc and play it, and take it out when you're done. Online streaming services (such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) might not have the movie you want to watch, and there are sometimes issues with streaming. As far as purchasing movies, sometimes I wonder what will replace optical discs if/when optical discs finally die out. I wonder if movies will eventually be sold on USB flash drives, or if you'll just get a code to download it from online (and then, will it include any extras like they often have on DVD/blu-ray discs?). And if movies & TV shows all become download-only in the future, we'll probably have to buy external hard drives/flahs drives to back up our collection onto. It still seems a little more conveinent to just buy them on disc format and keep the discs around.
I only buy movies that I want the extras for. Honestly though, I've lost most of my taste for watching movies, other than the popular sci-fi and comic-book franchise films. I much prefer TV nowdays.
I also remember most of that. We started with a TI99-4A (there is a slash in there somewhere but I cannot remember where!), then an XT. My first PC

I work in IT, and most places want to keep systems in use and on the
books for at least 3 years. When I worked at a gaming company, we were swapping out motherboards and video cards every 6 months for some of
the producers and programmers.
We had a couple of very popular games, and my QA manager was a barter
king. We'd trade copies of our games for office licenses, a site
license for WinZip, and I don't think we paid for a video card the
entire time I was there.
... Don't stress one thing more than another
I still have mine. About 10 years ago, I bought an old expansion system
for it. I have used it a few times, but one of the cards (and the main reason I bought it) went bad shortlly after. It still works, but only really provides a floppy and some extras for any cart games I might want to use (I don't own any that require it, though! <GRIN>).
