    If your VCR has a year setting on it, which most do, you will not be able to use the programmed recording feature after 12/31/99. Don't throw it away. Instead set it for the year 1972 as the days are the same as the year 2000. > > The manufacturers won't tell you. They want you to >buy a new Y2k VCR. Pass this along to all your friends.
