You can ask my brother at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You wait at least when the VHS is at its end and you must rewind it
to play it. Or when you want to move to particular point of the movie.
You can't do it simply on the tape.

Everybody likes something different.....

You can leave PC turned on. Then you don't wait while loading o.s.
Originaly, what we were talking about is MP3.
MP3 is better than anything else, since you can very quicky play
any song, without changing CD or MC, you don't need to rewind, etc.
The same applies to MPEG video. But you need "a bit" bigger hard drive
to store videos similar way as audio in MP3. :)))
