RE: Dead horses, format wars and consumers...

Posted by panhead on January 12, 2008 at 05:49:00:
I have never understood any of this discussion about the merit of different formats. I just did the back room for $300! Picked up the $98 Toshiba A2 at wally world and $200 demo SONY S1 at best lie. So what gives? I bet most of the inmates here have spent more on some cable. I really DONT care about dead formats I have a lot of old betas, 3 1/2 floppies, cassettes and laserdisks laying around. Am I crying about it?????? N00000000000000000000000000. Who cares! At least I didnt buy into the digital VHS thingey. (but of course I didnt have a big screen then either) Just enjoy - this is a hobby - it is supposed to be fun.

Cheers!
