sandik Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 For a minute I thought someone was claiming to have the last VCR and I was waving my hands saying "but I still have one!" Link to comment
choriamb Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I know, Mme. Hermine, I'm sentimental about 'em too. VHS and cassette recording in the days before boringly reliable timers always had an aspect of butterfly-hunting: you were always jolted into action by something unexpectedly fabulous happening or poised panther-like over the VCR waiting for some planned-for show to begin. I use all of the digital recording tools nowadays and curate Youtube links...but when you recorded on tape, you actually felt the thrill of the hunt. (The Shazam music app is the closest thing to that nowadays.) Link to comment
