feeling old
Remember thinking our parents were old because they used to use 8-track tapes and record players? The other day I had a conversation with my youngest son:
Him: Hey Dad - What's that?
Me: That's a VCR.
Him: What?
Me: a VEE CEE ARE.
Him: Oh. What does it do?
Me: We used to use it to play movies before DVDs. It plays tapes instead of discs.
Him: Oh. That's Weird!

we still have a VCR, probably because we haven't yet gotten a DEE VEE ARE, but when it dies, thats it, we're done.
I remember not having a VCR, till our aunt took pity on us "backward" New England children. I also remember not having a microwave...but those memories are a little more vague.
oh yeah - we were definitely the last family on the block to get both.
I do not have a VCR. For some reason, they always break on us. It doesn't matter whether they are really good expensive ones or cheap $30 ones - I have never had one last longer than 6 months. The only one we have is part of a TV/VCR combo that we used to use in the car. The VCR has been broken for years, but the TV part still works fine. About 5 years ago, I promised myself I would never buy another VCR. It has been DVD players only since then. For a while, there was the downside that I couldn't record stuff on TV, but with the invention of the DVR that has gone away as well.
