Sounds nice, Michelle! Susan, I have a little converter box. Put the tape into the VCR, plug the VCR into this box, this box converts it and it is plugged into the computer and saves it as the right kind of file to burn to a DVD. I haven't used it but I picked it up a while back because I want to do this.
I cleaned up more of the front room, packed up most of the tapes, and set a piles aside that can be recorded over. I don't have a DVR right now (not one that is attached to a signal, at any rate) so I have to record the old fashioned way. I also finished a data jack in that room.
