... toss the wands on a table, go into a trance, project yourself into the future with your credit card, buy the machinery and return with it to the present. By the time you read the "instruction" manuals to figure it all out and get it up and working it will be the latest thing on the market while all your friends will be cussing up a storm over their now obsolete, antiquated systems which they spent a ton on just six months ago when it was latest rage on the shelves. (The I Ching approach will also work with such things as computers, cellphones, i-pods, TV's, CD players and even household appliances.)
Comment: Gerard, your post made me laugh, it made me cry ...
dom's made me blush at the naughty innuendos ...
Joe, thank you for the additional information!
if you want to use it to record TV programs as well as copy VHS to DVD, be sure that the unit comes equipped with an ATSC tuner or that you have a cable box or else you won't be able to record anything.
This is beginning to sound complicated ... I know that at least one of the movies I want is available on a Region 2 disc, and in the past I somehow was able to break the encryption on another one of these. No major retailer will sell a region free DVD player, so what other option is there?
Also, on occasion I've taken a chance on purchasing a DVD identified as being Region 2, and found it was actually Region 0. This was the case with "Witchfinder General." (As an aside, "Witchfinder General" was later released in the US as a Region 1 disc.)
