VCR and Y2K

[Ludwick Mary <ludwickm@LISD.NET>]

..I have been off LMNet for a month, so please excuse me if this has
been discussed. (I will have house guests another 10 days so won't be
reading LM, please answer to me.)   I received the following message
from a friend:

"New VCR setting for 2000
Here is something I bet you hadn't thought would be
an issue for Y2K.  You won't be able to use the programmed recording
feature. Do not throw away your VCR in the year 2000. Set it on
1972 because the days will be the same. Please pass this on
 because you  know the manufacturer will not share this information.
 They will want you to buy a new one that is a Y2K compliant."
............

For those of you who are more tech savy than I am, do you think there is
validity in this idea?  If so, could I reset to 1971 now, so I don't
have to remember 1972 on Dec. 31st?  Thanks for any input..
