My parents have a black diamond video player that reached the max date in 2002 or 2003. they just set it back to a year that the days fall on the same date every month. It is pretty much only used for when dad is going to miss coronation street now. |

At least Melco have created such a page to help people out. |

Just before Christmas I wandered into DSE with a turntable under one arm looking for a new rubber band. They haven't stocked them since 2006. And then there's the pile of computer disks of varying sizes and types. |
