Yes but some day when they finally allow the release of cheap recordable DVDs,
video tapes will start to die down. Pre recorded DVDs are one of the fastest
growing media ever released.

I'm one of the strongest supports of MD and one of the oldest )partially because
I am probably older than most people on this list (52). I purchased my first

of even the MZ-1 acceptable for use in your car for example.
