VHS era is winding down
Found on Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, 24 December 2008
On a crisp Friday morning in October, the final truckload of VHS tapes rolled out of a Palm Harbor, Fla., warehouse run by Ryan J. Kugler, the last major supplier of the tapes.
Kugler estimates that 2 million tapes are still sitting on shelves of his clients' stores across the country, but they are the last analog soldiers in the lost battle against the digital invasion. "I'm not sure a lot of people are going to miss VHS," he said, "but it's been good to us."
I'm without a VCR for years now. Not since the last one went up in smoke. Literally. But then, I don't have DVD player either and I haven't ever missed it for one second.
