Control your VCR with a text message E-mail

Image
Frisnit.com shows you how to control a VCR with SMS (cell phone) - "Imagine it, it's 3:15 on a weekday afternoon and you've just realised you've forgotten to set the video to tape 'Pet Rescue'. Usually you would be condemned to an afternoon of misery and disappointment, knowing you had no heartwarming cute animal stories to come home to. But not any more.
