“Sorry, I got to return this video”
2004 is when the Blockbuster video rental chain was at its peak (cite), and VHS was still in wide use at the time having only been surpassed by DVD rentals a year earlier. Speed dial was also still a thing then, payphones still exist today, and, although complaints were filed against Bill Cosby much earlier the public wasn’t widely aware of them until 2014.
How about “John Kerry is the candidate who can prevent a second Bush term” ?
It’s weird how slow things really are. In 2006 you could have rented a VHS from blockbuster and gone home and upload it to YouTube.
I think you’ll still need specialized equipment to hookup a VHS machine to a computer and digitize it.
Nope. RCA > S-Video, HDMI, or FireWire. Any of the three would have worked at the time. And many VCRs had either HDMI, VGA, or S-Video out.

“No body ever got fired for choosing IBM”
I ironically said that when I was working for IBM.
They don’t actually fire, they do “performance improvement plans”.
Ah yeah, the classic PIP’d manoever. I worked with a few good guys who got
fired without causePIP’d and let go even though their performance was fineBeen at Facebook 4 years? Not management? Get ready for the PIP.
