I gotta tell you that for years, Jim had (maybe still has) a VCR that I think was built in the neolithic period - like what got pawned off to local schools because they didn't have the budget to buy new ones.  Hey, it worked just hunky dory, so why buy a new one?  So what if it looked clunky and had one of those pop-up deals.

  And here I thought it was only my DVD player that didn't work because I hadn't set the damn thing up correctly.  Why aren't they as easy to plug in and use as VCR's?
