DVDs vs. VCR Tapes
I have both a DVD player and a VCR.
I LIKE THE VCR BETTER! It records. I'd need a DVR to do that, and they're expensive and the discs are more expensives than tapes.
And I don't CARE what the DVD people say, the tapes last longer. I have 15, 16 year old tapes that work just fine. I have 15, 16 MONTH old discs with parts I can't watch due to skips.
Discs have some advantages. The DVDS are easy to mail (and cheaper), easier to store and carry.
I'm in no hurry to give up on my VCR, thank you very much.
