Do you guys realize how many different tapes Maxell & TDK make. I know the drill trick, but I was hoping for a quick answer. Now I am going to do it the hard way. Prepare the cold towels, aspirin and coffee, I am testing again. Will post my humble findings!!!!!!
P.S. Thanks for the replies.
P.S.S. Hey mate, is it true in Aussie land that TV's are placed upside down to get better reception or did I get this information from some pissy galah with t'much Fosters?? ;-)Yours Truly,

Yeah, it is why we have switched to satellite. Looking at the screen upside down became tiresome + with the satellile beaming downhill reception was a lot easier to get. And yes, the bathwater does go down the sink anticlockwise.I refrained from more specific tape recommendations as they are often given different labelling in the Southern hemisphere. Also, I have found that some of my older Mexell & TDK tapes level in quality with their latest extra high grade ones, suggesting their current "high quality" has a different connotation to that a couple of decades ago. BTW videotape is a fraction of the cost it was when VHS first hit the deck over 20 years ago - something like 1/10th when you take inflation etc into account.
I will follow your investigation with interest. I presume you have done a search on the net for that info - I find "Google" particularly effective as a search engine.
