Yeah I can’t also believe how far technology has come in such a short time. And what is even more interesting is how much further it will go in the coming years.

Nah, it’s normal to be a little sentimental.

However, having thousands of this stuff, just for the sake of collecting, is kinda mentally challenged.

I think its cute to keep one of each type of old media especially if its an album or movie that you love or has some sort of sentimental meaning to you. Just to kind of keep as a reminder of where we've come from. But that could be the illness talking... lol fragileheart´s last blog post..Absence makes the heart

I also have my wedding video on VHS, but it was recorded in PAL (not NTSC) mode. So it makes it even more difficult if I want to play it back. I’ll need to convert it to DVD soon, too.

Instead we have to settle for the crappy VCD (Video CD) version. For some reason or another, I don’t why anyone would want to watch VCDs. The quality is so bad.

hi Rudy,
My friend when I was a teenager had an 8-track in his car, and swore it sounded better than cassettes (I could never tell). Ah, the memories…
Actually, this post reminds me that our wedding video (that we had professionally done) is on a VHS tape, which is why I still have a VHS player in a box in the garage. I think I even got some cables to hook it up to my computer to burn a DVD, but never got around to it. I’m not sure if that was even for my current computer. I just hope my wife doesn’t get the urge to watch it. Let’s not remind her… ~ Steve, the trade show guru
PS. I’ve heard of Laserdiscs but don’t think I ever knew someone with them… now I do.
PPS. I’ve got a couple of boxes of zip disks, and a zip drive that I pulled out of a computer I was getting rid of. I’m not even sure what’s on the disks…

Yes, you have Toshiba to thank for that latest technology. Be the first early adopter!

Some material is even being distributed on compact media like SD cards now. Times sure are a-changing. Periapex´s last blog post..Office Trip 2008: Punta Cana.

Hey Farzan,

Well,I wouldn’t advocate collecting Blu-ray because of the digital distribution push. Download is the way to go, if you ask me. Less packaging (no waste) and it’s very convenient.

It’s the future.
