Did you ever find it funny that you play a DVD in a DVD player, and play a VCR tape in a VCR? You think they could have made the terms a little more...parallel. You know those cobo things that say VCR/DVD. Well, wouldn't that be wrong? Its like saying Video Cassessete Recorder/Digital Video Disks. Does that mean you get a VCR and one DVD?? What is up with that??? They sould have name a DVD player BEFORE the disks. Like maybe DVDP---Digitl Video Disk Player and then the DVDs themselves could be known as just a 'video disk' or DVDP disks. Which would be repeatitive. I dunno. There may never be a answer to this question. Maybe VCRs will become obsolete and then no one will care. But then, they'll come out with something else and screw that up. No, I am not bitter. But that might make me.
