Anyone make a DECENT VHS/DVD combo?

My 2002 Panasonic VCR still works every bit as well as it did the day I bought it. I had a Panny VCR before that with VCR Plus+ that also worked well, but a tape jammed in it after about three years. Literally had to wreck the machine to get the tape out. Oh well, it's probably just as well since VCR Plus+ is no longer used (my local newspaper no longer prints VCR Plus+ codes in the TV guide listings) and VCRs themselves are obsolete, having been upstaged by DVRs -- who knows what may supersede those? My best guess is DVD recorders, although there are still copyright issues to contend with if VHS tapes of old (or not so old) network TV shows and the like are transferred to DVD.
