Default Just got the VCR I won on Ebay!!!

Well, you pay $22 for a PANASONIC OMNIVISION VCR.

What do you get??


A $22.00 VCR.

It works. It plays okay, skips now and then. But it records with a humm.

I just can't get lucky, can't I.

Now I'm waiting for my friend to bring me hers. She never used it except for one taping for Paul Anka.

If that one doesn't work better than this one, I just might have to do the DVR thing.

I'm going to learn how to use this before I order it.

Oh god, I'm really getting into the technical revolution, aren't I???

Melody I was wondering, are you recording on brand new tapes or recording over tapes again and again?

I tried new tapes, I tried old tapes. I tried recording on new tapes, old tapes.

Same thing happened.

When you record on any tape and you play it back, it hums and it skips every 60 seconds or so.

I tried using a cleaner but it's an old cleaner.

Didn't know about the alcohol on swabs.

I just might do this.

If it improves, I shall hug you all to death!!!

lol

Oh, ALL OF YOU, go to Social Chat and look at the thread I just started about having a good cry.

It's a video up on youtube that moved me to tears.

So whenever you all have a moment and want to see SOMETHING REALLY HEARTWARMING, go to that thread. You will be very glad you did.

Mel

DVR OR BUST! THROW OUT THE 8-TRACKS!!

Oh wait, I still have my dad's 8 tracks...LMAO.....

DVR, DVR, DVR

but save your VCR's for when you buy a new puter so you can transfer your old tapes to DVD's...

I think I just got myself into something that I am going to get myself in trouble with..........LMAO...........

Why would I transfer my old tapes to DVD's.

I hate dvds anyway.

What is so special about my old tapes that I would transfer them to dvds.

These tapes are just things we taped off of tv.

AND YOU STILL HAVE 8 TRACK TAPES??

I never had those.

We used SONY WALKMANS with little cassettes to listen on the subway and buses.

I still remember snapping my fingers to Michael Jackson's Thriller.

And he turns 50 this year.

Oh My God!!!
