Back in the day

I bought my first video machine way back in 1982.

It was a VHS. Obviously.

Back then it cost (I think) about $800 at a time when I as a young fella was earning $250 a week.

That was three times my weekly salary!

And what kind of special features did I get for that kind of money?

A remote control. That's what!

A remote control connected to the machine by a three metre cable.

Good times.
