Waste of moneyI once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

VideodromeBack in the dim, distant and of course analogue days of the 1990s, I was into home video (no, not that kind. Well, ok, yes that kind too). I made my own home movies, and I particularly enjoyed the editing part. So, I decided to get a proper edit deck, and in order to get the keep the quality as high as possible, I went for an S-VHS machine.
The machine was great - I used it a lot. But I only ever used it in S-VHS mode once. And that was to test it. I just never got into the habit.
Because S-VHS was the Latest Thing, the damn thing cost me £900. When it finally wore out, I bought the same model on eBay for £30...

Was it the Panasonic with the flip down front?NV-HS1000 or something like that? I bought three of those bastards to do A-B roll edits of crappy computer animations I did on my Amigas.
Same problem, never used the S-VHS mode as the tapes cost a fortune IIRC.
