[Tutorial]How to take macros with any cell phone!

Thought I'd share this with you guys! This is probably the wrong place to post it but I figured peps in the Stash Jar would benefit from it the most.

What you will need is an old DVD player and the tools to open it. I used one of my broken Xbox(original).This WILL render you dvd player/drive useless.

Yeah, I was half a sleep when I put the text in and didnt want to go back to change it and re-upload it.
