Time for a rant!

Bloody technology! My DVD player gave it's last cough of life yesterday after deciding not to give me back my DVD! It's been playing up for about a month now. Working one minute and not working the next. Seems to have a mind of its own. "I don't think I like this DVD so I won't play it!" Then it chucks out the DVD it doesn't like before whirring a bit more a finally turning itself off! I tried using a lense cleaning disc to clean the lenses several times, but didn't seem to work. It's wierd. The other night it played a Smallville DVD that my friend lent me just fine. The next day I try to watch another eppisode. After several attempts of trying to play the disc (the player just wouldn't read the disc and kept chucking it out again) I gave up & tried turning it off and on again. Oh dear. When I turned it back on again none of the buttons would work. I couldn't turn it off again or even eject the disc. This made me panic a bit as it wasn't my DVD stuck in there. As a last resort I turned it off and on again at the mains, which worked. I got the DVD back. Phew! I decided not to try to play it again as that could result in the DVD getting stuck permanently. Luckily I found an old Sony DVD player that we used to have in the living room before getting our hard drive Pioneer. It's not a recordable one but at least I can play my DVD's on it!   (Imagine the PC's an LG DVD player!)
