I am currently in the process of uploading weird, wacky, and wonderful, clips from the over 700 videotapes compiled by my family between 1979 and 2000. Most of these clips are taken from surprisingly high-quality BETA tapes, but I will eventually start to digitize some of my VHS and Super VHS collection. I live in the Toronto area, so I have vintage snippets from Buffalo area newscasts, TVO (Lots of Elwy Yost), CityTv, YTV, CTV, First Choice the Super Channel, PBS, Global, and oodles of 1980s and 1990s commercials.

I think it is wonderful that the Internet finally provides a use for all my obsolete 1980s technology. My father was a major videophile, and is delighted that he has a valid reason to keep his vast collection of BETA Curiosities (For the good of YouTube...and all of MANKIND!).

I have a social life, so I will mostly upload new content whenever I am bored, or just in need of a 1980s fix. I have no idea what is on most of these tapes, so I can't really take requests. Fun Fact: Most of the neat stuff I find is from the end of tapes, when someone went to bed forgetting that the VCR was left recording.

I am just doing my part to make sure these little pieces of our collective history are not forgotten, or *GASP* even lost forever. The world should not be without Glenn Frey's embarrassing ad for Bally Fitness Centres, or vintage Jake and the Fatman promos. Think of the children...think of our future!

Anyway, please enjoy in moderation. All videos are presented via fair-use laws and guidelines. And remember, I love all of you...whoever you are!

BETA LIVES!!!
