VCR calendar

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

If this has been posted before, I apologize. This was sent to me from a friend. I know this is not real important considering the possible effects of Y2K, but hey, it helps.

Here is something I bet you hadn't thought would be an issue for Y2K.

Some, if not most, VCR's won't be able to use the programmed advanced recording feature. "Do not throw away your VCR in the year 2000. Set the year on 1972 because the calendar days of the week and month will be the same as the year 2000. Please pass this on because you know the manufacturer will not share this information. They will want you to buy a new one that is Y2K compliant.
