    Mine was the VCR. I could record Postman Pat and watch it again any time I wanted. Blew my mind.

        True, but I believe technically the recording should only be viewed once (which of course would have been impossible to enforce). I wore those tapes out.

        Whilst it wasn’t piracy in the strictest sense, it instilled the desire to collect media for as cheap as possible in me whilst I was still a pre-schooler.
