This whole episode I just described recently happened at home to my wife. I had bought a new VCR
and she wasn’t very familiar with its operation yet. She was rewinding a tape with the television off and
she commented that it seemed to be taking a long time to rewind the whole tape. I looked at the display
on the front of the VCR and sure enough, there was an indicator arrow (ÿ) showing that the VCR was
still in the play mode. After I explained this to my wife, she said, “That’s a stupid way to design a VCR!
Why don’t you use that as an example in your book?”
