Totally unacceptable...

Nothing wrong with that!

I use 2 of them almost daily and will continue to do so until recordable DVD players become more widely available and much, much cheaper.

Digital, I have had my VHS for about 4 years, had no problems with it and use it alot(mainly for taping programs).
Like watcher said- until the prices of recordable DVD players come down- the VHS player will be around- maybe not for watching rental films(DVD's do that now) but for recording and watching your old tapes you might have.

you still got them gaia? I saw that Fox have re-released the se Star Wars VHS tapes(most likely with the release of Ep.2 on to DVD) and Myer were selling them for about $65(ep. 4,5 and 6).

**Gaia** · #9 03-12-2002, 07:38 PM

yeah i saw them too, $65 is a bit much since they're not even the special editions

yep, i still have them, no point bumping them up again

(btw: the one i have is the black and gold coloured box not the one that myer is selling...)

Ah well done my dear fellow! Indeed, a video cassette recorder could still be construed as an indispensible piece of machinery, and indeed, would be the only financially viable method of retaining posterity for programs on televison.

May I enquire as to how many heads your lovely machine possesses?
