Sony VCR clock expires
OT but,
WE print calendars and I never knew that there are only 14 calendars that
repeat.
2001, 2007, 2018, 2029, 2035, 2046, 2057, 2063, 2074, 2085 and 2091 all use
the same calendar.
Another piece of useless information...

My 10 year old Sony VCR ran out of time this year and the clock cannot be
reset
to
2007. Sony told me to set it to 2001, which they claim will do the same
job. I
tried it and so far it works for January, 2007 (gets the right day of the
week). How much
could it have cost Sony to extend the original clock beyond 10 years? The
VCR
is still very servicable, although I never could fix the capacitor that
holds up
the memory for supposedly 3 hours in a power outage. Now I have to reset
it for
even
the shortest power outages. It's probably tricky, because the last VCR
tech who
tried to fix that said he couldn't find the right capacitor to do the job.
