Speaking about being "over 40", I'm 63 years old.


In 1987, I flew from Los Angeles to Australia and New Zealand on a 7-
week vacation.


I thought I should buy a watch because I had flight connections and
other appointments to keep. *As I drove to LAX, I handed my new
digital watch back to my 8 y..o. nephew in the back seat. *Within 3
minutes, he had it set and all programmed! *(Upon my return from
Australia, I didn't use that watch again.


Last September, I bought a analog watch -- I prefer a watch with hands
rather than the time being displayed -- but the instruction manual
covered a variety of watch models (not just the one I bought) so it
took me seemingly hours to figure out how to set my watch.


If the DVD player has HDMI, then use that to go to one
of the HDMI inputs on the TV.

For the VCR, it depends.
First choice would be S-VHS if it and the TV have that.
Next would be composite video. *With either of those
you'll also have to connect sound between the VCR and
TV. *Last choice would be RF out on VCR, to TV antenna
in.

Good choice on the Bravia, BTW. *I have two of them
and I think the pic quality is the best out there.


My Mother had a 30-year-old console TV. Since liked the cabinet so
much that, instead of trashing it, I gutted the innards and she put
ginger jars in the opening.

About 2 years ago, she bought the Bravia. Instead of mounting it on
the wall or on a stand, she wanted it installed in the old cabinet. so
I attached two L-brackets to the mounting holes on the back of the TV
and to the bottom of the cabinet. The 32" Bravia fit the opening
exactly.
