Our first VCR was huge and it set my dad back around $800. We thought we were the shite. My dad must have been drunk when he made that purchase.

This topic reminded me of theses vhs rewinders. I thought we were super cool when I had sleep overs and we needed to rewind a movie and it only took us 37 minutes instead of 2 hours!

You surely didn't want that $1 rewind charge.

Holy crap I just remembered we rented the videotape player *and* the take at the same time.
Yeah, we did that too when I was young. Dad finally broke down and bought a VCR when he bought a camcorder to tape Holidays and tee ball games.
