Made The Glitch My B!+¢#

Turned out that the problem with my YouTube access was a "cookie" conflict. Either it was using an outdated cookie, or just the wrong one. Cleared out the cookies and it works fine now. Load off my mind.

Any requests?

Update On The Videocy

Two major problems with the VCR/DVD combo Dad bought sight unseen:

1) The DVD tray refuses to open.

2) The VCR unit has no Tracking control whatsoever. It'll play commercial tapes without a problem, but if we try to playback the content we recorded ourselves it comes out all fuzzy and warbly and there's no way to compensate.

Now, recopying old commercial VHS tapes to DVD is not only legally dubious, it's inefficient, problematic and pennywise/pound-foolish.

I'm advising Dad to send it back and get back his money. Dunno if he'll take my advice now.

PS: He somehow got the tray to open, but he never let me figure out if the DVD deck could playback because he very stupidly rigged it to our TV/DVD combo unit, which accepts the same REMOTE CONTROL inputs. Try to tell one to play a disk, you tell BOTH to play. Which means we can't use that TV as a display. I rigged the VCR/DVD combo to another TV, but can't duplicate his result of opening the DVD tray.
