Nice, my VCR won't let me program the correct date. It won't let me enter a two-digit year starting with a "1." So instead of entering 2010, I had to enter in 1999 for the dates to align properly with this year.
Edit: and now the VCR won't even let me read a tape. I put a tape in, and the VCR makes an unusual noise, and then it shuts off. The number "4" is lit up and blinking on the display.
Edit 2: Fixed the VCR. I dropped it a few times from about a foot onto carpet. I guess something was knocked out place a few months ago when I was reorganizing my bookcase, and I just knocked it back into place. Don't you just love mechanical recording technology?!
