Yup! Time marches on. But I think that I am the only person alive who has not yet purchased a DVD ! I have so many video tapes that I cannot see throwing them all away! I have 3 VCR's in my home and as long as they are all working I will continue to use them!

Change does come hard to me!

I will catch up eventually!

I, too, have hundreds of video tapes. It would take forever to transfer then to DVD.

Ha Ha! Me too! I cannot give up my video tapes!

Wasteful!

Of course there was one time that I said that I would never have a computer! A passing fad!

So there you go................................

I have a ton of VHS tapes. Mostly of things I taped off of TV over 10-15 years ago. They aren't labeled either lol. So I have no idea whats even on most of them.

There are somethings like the original broadcast of the Family Ties finale I really need to convert to DVD before the tape gets any worse.

I will never give up my video tapes. I have hundreds of them and it would take me years to transfer them all. It would be like throwing money away.

I got hundrerds of VHS' and I made a guide in a spiral notebook, and labled all my tapes and I correspond a page om the notebook. It makes it real easy when looking for something. I don't think it worth it for me to transfer them to DVD.

Me, too, "Gilligan."

I have a notebook with many of my tapes listed. Otherwise it would take forever to look something up, like a movie.

As long as they will still make VCRs, I'm satisfied.

Most retail stores don't even carry them not even Wal-Mart.

LOL, I can't even bare the quality of VHS!!! Thank God for DVDs!

TVFactFan · 09-09-2005, 01:33 PM

Yeah DVD's are great, with all the FROZEN scenes and SKIPPING of Scenes. I don;t see any of that on VHS

Yea some DVD's are great and some aren't. I guess its the luck of the draw which ones you get. The most recent movies I picked up play great and then I got season 2 of Three's Company and about 3 or 4 shows on that DVD are messed up.
