New contraption
Sometimes I get really frustrated with new electronic devices. My wife just bought a device that is supposed to be a VCR/DVD player and recorder. It was delivered today. She bought it because she has a video camera that records on tapes and she had no way to transfer it from the tape to a digital format so she could copy it onto a DVD or send it as a file over the computer.
So as I was saying, this thing was delivered today and now I’m trying to set it up. Of course it is not working the way the instructions tell me it is going to work, not even the initial set up. So I’m getting frustrated. I don’t understand why these things don’t work the way the instructions say they will work! Technology and machines are great when they work the way they are supposed to work, but when they don’t work that way, they are a huge pain in the neck!
