Y2K VCR
If your VCR has a year setting on it, which most do, you will not be able
to use the programmed recording feature after 12/31/99.
Don't throw it away, instead set it for the year 1972 as the days are the same as the year 2000.
The manufacturers won't tell you. They want you to buy a new Y2K VCR. Pass this along to all your friends.
