  Yah, no wonder people pirate stuff -- a lot of
 it cost more than the machines to run it.
 
  If you were referring to re-packaged TV shows
 on video in the locked glass display case, btw,
 I've seen those as well. Watched very few of them
 the first time around so don't particularly want
 to see them now. But I suppose they have a certain
 nostalgic value for some people, and I've seen the
 companies that market them cleverly exploiting
 that. But over $300!!  I'd avoid the locked glass
 cases. [g]

  I'm so far behind I haven't even considered
 that yet. Not even a CD burner. My grandkids
 sometimes burn CDs for me!
