I have fond memories of VHS tapes. Getting the 5 for 5 at Blockbuster, helping my dad fix VCRs and watching the VCR tapes get eaten! VCRs were one of the first electronics I could diagnose and fix byself. As a kid, I would even use old VCRs to make Star Trek toys and other fun gadgets.
I still use VHS tapes on occasion. My wife and I have many of the VHS-C tapes from our video camera. We've still been dragging our feet to get a digital video camera. For the time being we have used my Panasonic Lumix digital camera. Works quite well and does the job effectively.
