I just got back from BB. I bought a Samsung w/universal remote for $59.99. This is to replace a Samsung that has a problem. After using it (and abusing it) for about 10 years, it's time. I don't know how in the world it lasted this long. Especially considering how I use it.
I remember my first VCR. Around 1980. COST $750.00. Haven't we come a long way with VCRs?
