Marjorie, I forgot to add the most important thing about the wrapping on the nuts, pretzels, etc...if the stuff is so strong, why don't they wrap the AIRPLANE with it, to protect it from damage "in the unlikely event of a mishap"????? Also, I am not offended by the Idiot's guide, but if I were not too lazy to sit with the VCR's own instruction manual, I COULD program the thing! AND if I could read JApanese, I might be able to do it even faster! Hope you have a nice long weekend to enjoy. I am working hard to get my new old house ready to live in so we can get out of the old old house, I am falling asleep, so goodnight. Ken b
