[net.consumers] Extended Warranty Coverage on VCRs

<1st line>
<2nd line: who looses the first line anyway?>

I have had a VCR for over a year and a half and have never had
any problems with it (I bought it at Sears).  VCRs tend to be
in the "if-it-works-do-not-fix-it" category and, with reasonable
care (i.e. do not drop it on the floor, etc.), do not seem to
require much repair.  Also, most manufacturers have a 1 year
warranty anyway, so most of the cost for repairs during the
first year would actually be paid by the manufacturers.

While I am not advocating that maintenance agreements are not
worth the money, my experience indicates that a 2 year agreement
for VCRs is rarely worth it.
