I don't have a link to post, but I seem to recall that you can actually use a VCR (or a DV camcorder, even) as a tape backup device for your computer data.

Sounds like the best way to waste a weekend and a few bucks. Oh wait, I can take the same money, and go drinking with a pretty girl.:) One may get me laid. One is pretty much guaranteed not to. I'll let you figure out which one is which.

With that kind of attitude, I would guess that neither option holds much guarantee for you (unless "the same money" is enough to rent you a cheap hooker).

Charisma my son, charisma. When I go out with a lady friend (not of the rental variety), I always show her a good time, regardless if we may be having an adult interlude later in the evening.
If a prospective romantic partner came over, saw a VCR hooked to the computer with a stack of 100 VHS tapes, you're pretty much guaranteed that she'll immediately have thoughts that you're a pervert.
