Poverty American Style
Rich on 2004/09/07:
„35 million people were classified as poor in the last census. But 70% of those were able to meet ALL essential expenses including medical care, probably owned a car, had 2 or more televisions, a VCR or DVD player and lived in decent housing. And most of that 70% actually owned their homes.“

Time Shifting Your Life
ronn on 2004/03/31:
„And now (to finally get to the point of this post!), your Mac makes it easy to time shift all sorts of content, including radio, streaming audio and a surprise you won't believe!I received a DVD player this past Christmas after my VCR died after nearly a dozen years. So I doubt I'll be getting a DVR any time soon. Still, a couple of the other items mentioned are worth a look:“

You can't watch DVDs you bought
Brian on 2004/02/22:
„Sure, 321's copies are digital, but the court doesn't claim to be making a digital/non-digital distinction dispositive. Oh, by the way, that device that connects between your DVD player and TV and makes non-digiital copies onto VHS is called a "VCR." That's right. On one reading of this opinion, your VCR is now illegal.“

v-day recap
deb on 2004/02/15:
„I got a new DVD Player for Valentine's day. It's one of the combo units that has a VCR and DVD Player both. Mark had looked into TIVO but upon research decided we didn't want big brother in our home.“

Saturday, but not in the park because of the below-freezing temps.
girl on 2004/01/10:
„Nothing of excitement to write about today, as I spent most of it cleaning or having a mini-marathon of Buffy (the third season, courtesy of the DVD set from Santa last month). Also, I was re-arranging, in a rather embarassing attempt to situate the VCR and the DVD player such that I can reach them without getting up from the couch. This is a bad thing, especially considering that the freezing freezing FREEZING cold weather--weather where the condensation on the windows is FROZEN--has prevented much in the way of exercise.“

Eat the Rich
Jeff on 2004/01/08:
„Overall, the typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded.“

Dad vs My Home Entertainment Center
kitfox2123 on 2004/01/05:
„He also doesn't quite get that anyone lacking his external plumbing is capable of understanding even the simplest parts of it. So, when we finally got my home entertainment center (read as "flat pieces of untreated wood nailed together and heretofore known as the HEC) into my room and the time came to hook my tv, modulator, vcr, dvd player, and nin64 together, he didn't even let me touch my own damn toys. Never mind that I'd successfully put my computer together, including my new scanner, two days before. Never mind that I'd also been able to set the whole thing up without any assistance when I moved into my apartment in WV.“

Stand Alone
Bill on 2003/12/10:
„DVD players are quickly catching up with VCRs in popularity, but they still have a long way to go. Ninety-eight percent of American households have at least one TV, and 92% have a VCR, but only 41% have a standalone DVD player. In homes with Internet access, however, DVD players have achieved 61% penetration.“

Home media box in a... box
Nuno on 2003/10/07:
„This is it, I've been thinking about getting a small Shuttle PC (or something along that line) and equipping it with a TV tuner, DVD burner, WiFi interface, IR receptor, etc. You know, the basics of a digital VCR/audio player/DVD and CD recorder and all-round media box. The Shuttle is quiet and discreet enough to have it in the living room and some of my friends are already buying all the hardware for it.“

Being CF's first day back
Simon on 2003/10/07:
„And there was a 5 minute wait for the noodles. So I bought a VCR and DVD player. Also had my eye on a plasma TV, but the new LCD TVs look like they'll be the go in a year or two so I might have to curb my toy envy for a little while. HK is a boy's dream when it comes to electronic toys.“

Hi. Yummy yummy peanut butter
Faith on 2003/07/27:
„Hmm...I got called off work from the beach today because it was really windy so instead I went to WalMart and got some containers. I came home and packed up just about everything except my clothes, tv, dvd player, vcr, stuff like that. Everything else is ready to go. It's so soon.“

COBA smart classroom
chamilto on 2003/02/27:
„The system included two drop-down screens, two ceiling-mounted data projectors (it wasn't an especially large room, but the seating was flat, not tiered, so two screens were necessary), 6-8 (kickin') speakers in the ceiling, a DVD player, VCR, and networked Gateway computer. The last three items, as well as the console controls, are in a locked cabinet at the front of the classroom. The entire system is controlled via remote, which seemed to work from anywhere in the room.“
