DVD wins for being able to skip to scene 23, but if you're looking for the part of scene 23 where Bob says to Mary "Oh drat! That's not a Cadillac!" then a DVD sucks mightily for this purpose. Fast forwarding is jerky and unwieldy. > OK, I always put DVDs back in their boxes, and I've never rented one so > I can't tell about this (I did have bad experiences with CDs, though). > But I did borrow tapes that had terrible quality. > > > That little catch on the end of the tape works better than you might > > expect. > > I suppose so but you still have to manually rewind it in, haven't you ? I assume he means the little catch that prevents the casual handler from getting the tape out in the first place. I raised two babies. I have a mysterious hole in the front of the VCR from who knows what hitting it. I have lots of movie boxes that are chewed and/or shredded. I don't recall ever having lost a tape though. Or a DVD, for that matter, it must be said. Though as far as all of this goes, I'm with you, Guillaume, in that I rarely ever watch any of this nonsense either. Neither do my kids, these days. Now that I'm being Mr. Mom, I'm keeping the damn idiot light pretty much turned off. So far so good, but I just got a complaint from my daycare provider about how my kids don't watch TV anymore, and they're much harder to keep entertained. -- D.
