    When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    Once I have seen an offer on eBay for a similar device, but for DVD’s.

    Yes, really. It was that time, and it was almost serious ;)

      My older brother still jokes about the time that when he and his wife first got a DVD player they watched a movie on it and once it was done he asked her to get up and rewind the movie and she ended up spending 2 minutes while he was doing everything in his power not to laugh at her trying to figure out how to rewind the DVD.

      DVDs had been out for quite a while at this point they were just late to the game.
