I remember getting a Tivo as a gift for my wife. (2001 maybe?). I'd hooked it up to the TV the night before and when she came downstairs in the morning I said "let me show you something!"

I turned on some news channel and was trying to tell he about this. Something was 'newsworthy' on at that time, and she kept telling me "shh... hang on - I want to hear what he's saying!".

I pressed the 'pause' button on the tivo remote and the screen froze. Then she froze, and slowly turned to me... and... had that look in her eyes that "the world's just changed". :)
