My sig other and I trade off: She has a plasma (full on digital 1 yr old) and I have cable (basic). We even still use a VCR. How XXth cent. is THAT? And no I can't be arsed to explain why no DVR or TiVo. Shortest possible answer: $
I still have a vcr. An emerson to be exact. I also have an nes, a sega genesis, a beta max, a super nintendo, etc. Most people have gone and thrown these away, but I LIKE them. I get em out all the time, and play them. Examine them, take them apart, service them out. Yeah. I like to play with stuff like machines and gagets. I've had a longer relationship with my gadgets than I have with any woman, because they can't call me names, or make me angry.
Its not weird man.
