Donald Burr of Borg writes "One of my favorite features of Netflix, the video-rental-by-mail service, is "profiles." Profiles lets you create "sub-accounts" for your friends/family, so that they can share in the video rental love. Each profile gets his/her own Netflix queue that he/she can manage with their own login/password. You can divide up how many movies get sent to you vs. the other profiles under your account. E.g. if you have a 6-out-at-once plan, you can choose to get 3 movies at a time, and have 3 other profiles each receive 1 movie. Unfortunately, the fun stops September 1, at which point Netflix is, for unknown reasons, going to terminate this feature. Why? To "...help us to continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers." Improvement indeed!"
