I did it myself. You can request your entire rental history; I took that and plopped it into Excel. I had to add the type, because it just gives you shipped/returned date, title, and year made. But it was pretty easy. Took maybe twenty minutes. I wish they gave more data with the rental history. I'd love to have rating, # of stars I gave it, and category.

Hmmm, I hope I'm not sounding too stupid : what is a white noise generator?

Not sure I can explain it well, so I'll just copy out of Wikipedia:

One use for white noise is in the field of architectural acoustics. Here in order to submerge distracting, undesirable noises (for example conversations, etc.,) in interior spaces, a constant low level of noise is generated and provided as a background sound.

My supervisor describes the sound as "a jet engine taking off". It does sound like the being on an airplane. It's very easy to tune out, though, so most of the time I don't even notice it. And yeah, our building has a white noise generator so that conversations aren't carried across the entire floor.

Interesting... Thank you!
I was thinking it was something like that. If my neighbour goes on leaving his dog alone late at night (meaning the dog does nothing else than barking for hours) I will try to know if it's expensive or not.
