   It’s only a VCR if it can actually…Record. One of my oldest memories is my parents getting me my own player (at 3 years old) because they were worried about me breaking their VCR. My dad had one of those old video cameras where he carried that VCR on his hip and the bit with the lens up on his shoulder to record, and if one broke the other was useless.

   And to think, I felt so technologically advanced when my family first got a DVD player.

   BETA !!!……
   Have anyone else even seen a Four-track tape. (Yes, actually existed)

   Four track tapes are still around. The Library of Congress uses them for their blind readers. (My father was a big user.)

   Of course knowing what a VCR is just makes Jenny sound like an older woman. 🙂

   Just had an impromptu movie night in the DCC the other day. Those classroom projectors are awesome.

    Still got some tapes around here as well.

    Jewels like “Ten little Gallforces”. Don’t know if that even ever made it on DVD.

    So, have any of you young’uns ever seen a laserdisc?

    Think of a DVD a foot across, only without the resolution.

    It was a real improvement over Beta or VHS, though . . . similar to 1-1/2 inch reel-to-reel VTR quality, though the 2 inch RTR VTR beat it. 2-inch? That’s what the networks recorded their shows on after the creation of the video recorder. (I worked at the campus TV station.)
