Or the infamous ‘tape eats VCR’ nightmare, where hours of splicing Frankenstein-like attempts ensued? As kids, we became experts in pencil-reeling rewinds, more dexterous than any hamster on a wheel. Isn’t it funny how now we long for the simplicity of a Ctrl+Z, no clunky machinery required? Ah, the analog era!
