This really doesn't say how hold you are but if you hold an advanced degree. Remember how much of a PITA it was to program early VCRs. Or do you remember going to the Video Store only to find that they did not have the move instock in VHS only Betamax. Someone else already rented the VHS.
I remember you could rent a vcr from the movie store. I can't remember the video format that was available before VHS was introduced.
