vcr.from.1983

Until saturday, my aunt n. did not have a dvd player. It was a sad state of affairs, and since I brought a netflix movie with me, she decided it was time to move into the twenty-first century. We went to best buy, and picked out a brand-spanking-new dvd/vcr combo since her vcr was on the fritz. It was no wonder. This thing must have been from 1983. It was larger than the new combo machine, and must have weighed at least ten pounds more. I hooked the new one up, gave her a brief tutorial on the remote functions, and popped in balzac and the little chinese seamstress. (Good movie.) I was proud to share that moment with her.
