- Hee!
The year was 1999. Hubby wanted a DVD player soooo badly, but I thought they were too expensive. He sealed the deal by giving me my favorite movie (Last of the Mohicans) on DVD. I remember going into Blockbuster and all, like, 20 of the DVDs they stocked were in a tiny little section in the back of the store.
You've come a long way, baby!

- I remember when I was six and we got our first video player and I could record TV programmes. They were great for what they were, but now that we have much better and cheaper technology, lets move on.
