    I once had to pay $18 for ONE Beta Tape!!!!

    And it only recorded 1 friggin hour!!!!

    And the electronics store I would go to to buy them wouldn't always have them in stock!

    And you sometimes had to 'talk to the guy in the back room' to negotiate whether he would open the fresh boxes of tapes straight from the Sony factories in Japan or not to ALLOW you to buy ONE FRIGGIN TAPE ONLY!!!! $18.00!!!

    The Sony Store at the Square One Shopping Center in Mississauga was selling them a couple years ago mint in the box. Theres a lot of units out there still going strong, even if technically obsolete.

    This is so spooky, frightening, yet so deliciously 1970's! I LOVE IT!! I can actually remember the late 70's/early 80's and times like those... back when "watching the 'hot new show' on TV" was the absolute THING TO DO, and everybody did it! Nowadays there's so much stuff on TV it's hard to keep up with, plus a lot of it is just junk.
