I know what you mean,C,for I practically gave a VCR to my live-in cousin(who's always watching it an awful lot),and just only stick to the DVD drive,and DVDs in general,on my PC,since DVDs are all that the companies ever make these days,and video is slowly becoming very scarce(which is a sad reality to admit,since I was there at the beginning boom of video[late 70s/early 80s],and was caught up in the excitement of it,during my teen years)in these times.
