This is true. I need to go through my collection and find out which are
available on DVD (in case I want to buy it again). I'm to the point now
that my VCR isn't even hooked up anymore. It sits very forlorn-looking in
the corner now.

Of course, if I had a Quicksilver G4, I could dump the video into iMovie
and then burn it to a DVD...hmmmm, there's a thought for my old
videos. Obviously not the same quality, but I wouldn't need the VCR
anymore. :)
