With mine, for example, I can be on the phone, hit the RECORD button and the conversation is recorded from that point on. There is no noticeable change in the audio.
(The only times I ever use this feature is with my local Cable supplier. Their offers are always so full of lies, that I started doing this in self defense. “You’ll get this DVR for just $9.95 a month and no more.” Then the bill comes in and I find I am also getting additional channels for several bucks more per month.)
So, it looks like one of the 14 year old geniuses depressed the Record button accidentally.
This should make you R&J haters feel better: I used to teach this play to 9th graders. The universal response to the ending was, “My god, how stupid WERE they?!?!” So don’t worry, that play (and I agree it’s not Shakespeare’s strongest tragedy by a long shot) is not giving kids the wrong ideas about love and death. For once, their world-weary cynicism leads to a healthy critique and perspective on this literary example of teen idiocy.
The town is gonna really need somethng really special to pull itself back to the top ranks next year. I’m thinking a voluntary pledge program in the highschools where the students promise NOT to kill any parents within town borders.
