Bud H 62/7 >OKAY, I am mad as H... and I don't have to take it anymore!!!! IF you are >buying a new VCR or Combination VCR/TV, get one that has the automatic clock >setting feature. If you have a digital clock, replace it with an old fashioned >plug in analog clock. If the power goes off for five minutes, the clock only >loses five minutes. It has one knob to set the time, and one to set the alarm. >You don't wake to music, you wake to a loud ringing sound that WILL wake you >up! If you don't want to take a chance on losing even a few minutes, then >get a windup clock too. If enough people stop buying electonic products that >are user unfriendly, they will start making them the way we want! A more >manly act than setting the VCR clock, is taking the stupid thing back to the >store, and folding it around the salespersons head, who did not tell you a >degree in advanced electronic engineering, a knowledge of Calculus, and an >ability to translate the instruction manual to your native language is >mandatory to make it work. The fact that all the controls are the size of >pinheads, and are the same color as the control panel, usually black or dark >gray.It is a challenge to even FIND the controls, and what they do. Now there >are some that TALK to you, imaginge that! You are pushing the buttons and a >voice says "This is your VCR, listen and you won't get hurt! Push the black >button, until the screen display stops smoking..." OKAY, now I will go to >sleep..(ME, not the VCR, the VCR is not sleeping, it is DEAD!!!) KenB >
