Is this like dialing a cellphone, or were you really using a VCR?

Yeah, I know, my vocabulary is out of date. It was a VCR. Or some such. We dinosaurs are happy in our ignorance. Of course I know how it ended for them.

Added: Now that I think about it, we have DVR, not VCR. Which, I think, is something like having TiVo. Or something. No nead to learn much about it, next year it will be something else. I guess she should ask if she should re-DV it?

In another segment, the announcers seemed to say, maybe I should have checked it, that the dancing doctors and nurses were all actually real doctors and nurses. If so, I am impressed. Perhaps the most insightful comment from one of the hosts (Lauer I guess) was that while we here in the US are in a bitter partisan battle over healthcare in the UK they display their approach as a proud achievement.

Many of the NHS staff in the ceremony were real NHS workers.

That comment from the host is spot on. [edit] I meant both the comments.
