    Let’s be honest, we put up with that nonsense because we didn’t have a better option.

    I remember my Dad bringing home the school VCR for a birthday treat in the early eighties and it was a big beast that I swear might have required a trolley to move around. We rented Alien and Dark Star from the local video rental shop that had such sticky floors you couldn’t really stop for long in one place. It seemed like the future.

      How does it play VCRs?

      You put it in the slot of a much larger machine that takes all the hassle out of operating it, although that machine can only be controlled by high pitch whistles.
