Hi, speaking of videos, does anyone know if Blockbuster rents any
spinning videos, either format?
If not, would anyone be willing to make me a copy of any of the
spinervals. I would happily pay for the blank tape, shipping, and ???
I am on a tight budget and can't justify the cost of these videos, at
appr $35 with shipping. I am also concerned about how many times you
can watch one before the boredom sets back in.
If anyone is willing to help me out, please substitute people for
animal, in my email address.
Life is Good!
