    I was about to throw away all my S-Video connectors this week.

    Then all this TV-Spying debacle started getting exposed, and I looked at my old VHS and remembered why I kept the cable.

      Giving me memories of not having enough hard drive space and using s-video and audio cables to record downloaded episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 to tape from my computer so I could have more space to download more stuff.

          Do you have any idea how expensive 40gb was in 2000?

          Aqua Teen started airing in 2001 and I was grabbing the first season as it aired.

          I couldn’t afford any other solution. I was lucky to afford a video card with s-video out.
