It's the small button with a doubble arrow you must use for the fast
scan. It has the same icon as was used at most tapedecks and VCRs for
Fast Forward.

Which reminds me of a senior citizen who worried that he needed to rewind a
rental DVD before returning it. How long before almost nobody remembers
tape?

Check this out, I remember all of it, my son probably won't know about

100 Things you Kids may Never Know About

-about/

a rather odd collection of stuff there. Many are still very common
today and I would never have put in such a list (cash?). Others that
are clearly only remembered by old timers are missing (paper tape
anyone?)

I've seen much better lists in past years, though i don't really
remember just where.
