I never really got into collecting videotape movies. I think I bought 4 or 5 had another 4 or 5 given as presents. I did do some time shifting for favourite programmes. I found the dropouts on tape a pain. I never got into LD. Too expensive and too small a market. Besides I already have one "dead" technology (vinyl!) and don't want to get into more! I am waiting for recordable DVD to come down in price so that I send the vcr to the electronics dump in the sky. Afterall, one still needs to time shift programmes.
