| _______________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 1:04am - boblovesmusic ""] I remember reading something back in 2000 or 2001 when DVDs were just coming out, that said that the VHS would never die. Well... whatever it was, it was wrong. |

They are too useful and simplistic to dismiss themselves. Essentially, the cheap, quick, and easy ability to throw something on a tape makes it still a viable option for various applications. The situation at hand is that issuing something with VHS as its final format makes little to no sense anymore, just like issuing the final format of an audio record on cassette seems pointless as well. |
