It wasn't until my mother passed away in 1994 that I even had a TV.  I
inherited her almost-new, 27-inch RCA and video recorder.  I don't have
an antenna or a cable, so I started renting Hollywood videos on a
regular basis.  They were very enjoyable, and I still buy one or two
new tapes each year.  I quit watching movies as soon as spring came and
I started taking photos again.

I have only two or three RR videos.  As a rule, I think they're kind of
corny.  The one RR tape I watch over and over again is Pentrex's
production of ATSF 3751 running over Cajon and Tehachapi.  I don't know
why I have this particular tape.  It must have been advertised a lot
when I first acquired my TV.  That trip was quite an experience.

Later,
Warren

FWIW, the only _real TV_ I've watched was last year's Super Bowl.  I
borrowed a set of rabbit ears to do that.  I was a college student in
Madison, WI during the first two Super Bowls.  Now I've seen all three
games that my team has played (and won).
