So true. I miss video tapes for exact reason.q96169we wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 11:53 amYeah, I know what they are and tried them a lot of times as my wealthy classmates back then had more than one. It's just I couldn't afford it back then. Otherwise, I should also have a collection of MDs.sars wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 10:36 am q96169we, They were a great technology, better quality than tape, more portable than CD's, easier to maintain and didn't skip. Had a couple of players/recorders and it was relatively easy to make a compilation disc. Superseded by solid state devices and the MP3
I personally find that it's not about the technology or better music quality etc. It's more about the story/memories a person has with those devices/discs.
Going to the video store, spending ages finding a film and then the whole family watch it together. Some great memories.
