[net.video] Retraction + FLAME

penny@hlwpc.UUCP (P. Blaine) (10/22/84)

Before I start to FLAME, I would like to thank
the 2 people who responded to my question
regarding "Which Brand VCR is the Best".

******* FLAME ON *****

To all those who responded and said I
didn't know what I was talking about
because I said *VCR* instead of *VHS*,
excuse me for living!!!
Didn't you people ever make a mistake?
I know the two formats are Beta and VHS,
but my fingers decided to type VCR.
I bet you people sit there waiting for
someone to make a mistake so you can
get on their case, hope it makes you feel good!!!

****** FLAME OFF ******

BTW, for those who are interested, one person
suggested Quasar as being very good.
I did go out looking this weekend, and talked to
salesmen in different stores.
They all said the same thing, all VCRs (VHS in particular)
are basically the same because there are only a few manufacturers.
I ended up with a Fischer model 720, because it
had the most features for the money.
I didn't mention it in my first article, but
I was not looking to spend a fortune.
Just wanted a VCR so I could tape some
movies off the TV, or to watch rented ones.
I got the Fischer on sale at Crazy Eddie's for $399.99.
P.S. Trader Horns prices were cheaper than Druckers.
