Oh yeah, well try this one on, I am an arts and crafts major at Lehigh, not
repeat not a fucking engineer and just last week I finally managed to stop my
five year old vcr to stop blinking, by next week I might get the clock to tell
time and hopefullyu, some day, I can record one channel while watching
another, However I've abandoned all hope of ever getting it to set a timer
which will make the thing record hours after I leave my dorm room.
