Many youngins don't understand what it means to Be Kind, Rewind. Back in the day when we'd rent VHS tapes we'd sometimes rent one to discover that the person hadn't rewinded it before returning it, putting the responsibility of rewinding the movie on us. That's just not fair. Those are valuable minutes taken from our lives. These were the horrors we had to deal with when renting VHS tapes. In fact, it was such a big deal that they sold speed rewinders. Since the rewinding speed of a normal VCR wasn't strong enough, you could get a speed rewinder that would rewind the VHS in thirty seconds. Mine was shaped like a Ferrari.
The bad thing about tapes was that having a box set of a television show was difficult. You could only fit about three episodes of anything on a tape. Maybe even less.
