storm walked down the hall on the way to the rec room, a blank tape in her hand. she scowled as she looked at it. her nice quiet morning ruined! all because wolverine 'didn't have time' to tape his own episode of 'hockey night in canada', whatever that was. anyway she knew she'd never hear the end of it unless wolverine got his hockey show, and frankly she didn't want to be responible for wolverines actions if he missed it. she turned the corner into an empty rec room. it was early after all. she walked up to the television and bent down to place the tape into the VCR. now all she had to do was program it to tape channel 6 at 6:00pm. she looked for the correct buttons but the buttons she found didn't make sense. some of them said words she'd have never associated with a VCR, the others had strange symbols on them. she placed har hand on the bottom of the machine beifly revealing a whole nother pannel with more buttons and dials. she cautiously pressed a random button. nothing happened. she pressed another one. nothing. she fought back frustration. she could figure this out! she was an intellegent woman! maybe she would look for a "record" button. there must be one. she scanned the buttons again. there was one that said "rec" but it was red so she decided not to push it in case something happened. i mean why else would it be coloured differently from the others? "how am i supposed to record a program if this....thing does not have a 'record' button?" she asked herself. maybe, just maybe there was a button on the remote! she went to the couch to look for it. she didn't see it right away. she looked on the floor. it wasn't there. thankfully she found it on the next try when she found it taped to the celling. (don't ask, I'll explain later) she quickly scanned the buttons. again no 'record'. looks like she'd need help. now, where did they keep that manual? she checked the drawers and soon came out with a manual for the VCR. she flipped open the first page and read 'step 1: find the red and yellow wires. step 2: then locate the correct outlets (shown in figure 2-A)' she ubrputly closed the book. this wasn't the right one. this the one on how to set up the VCR! then she looked through the drawers once more. she eventually did find the right manual (she hoped). she shoved the scattered manuals aside and layed down the proper book. she flipped it open. there was a table of contents. she flipped to page 36, the record section. she read over the first page 'to record a program off of the television turn to the right channel and press rec' that seems easy.she turned on the television and switched it to channel 6. then she pressed rec. to her surprise the VCR started to record immdietly. it wasn't time for the show!! "how do i stop it?!" she asked the book. she read a little further. 'to stop recording press the stop button'. she did so immedietly. the tape stopped. "whew" she said. perhaps she sould have read the WHOLE section before trying this. she read 'recording a current broadcast' she didn't want that and flipped the page. 'programming your VCR to record' that sounded right. she read more 'press the menu button on the remote control.' she did, then selected 'program to record', as the manual said. a new selection flashed on the screen. 'channel'? she pressed 6 on the remote. nothing happened. she tried it again pointing it directly at the VCR. she slammed the remote down. then the 'channel' magically changed to 5. storm stared wide eyes at the remote, as the thunderstorm outside started to clear slightly. she tried someother buttons on the remote. she hit a button with an up arrow on it. she watched as the channel flipped twice to land on 7. she stared at the remote for a second "you did that on pourpose!" she snapped at it. then she hit the down arrow carefully landing on 6. then she set the stop and start time and even the date! then she selected the next catagory 'record speed'. she consulted the manual again. after much confusion she picked a random speed and it enter. there! it was done! she cleaned up the room putting everything back in it's place (exept for the remote, for obvious reasons.) and headed out the door feeling very proud of herself. she went into the kitchen and sat at the table ready to start making her morning tea. she clanced at the calandar. something caught her eye. she went in closer. no, no, today couldn't be the 17th. she'd programed the VCR to the 18th!! there was a loud clap of thunder. she'd have to do it all again!
