My Mum told me when I was about 2 years old I put a jam sammich in it because it was hungry.[/quote]

[quote=Tacitus]My mate's parents had a Betamax player. All I can remember was that it was massive, far bigger than our VHS machine, which itself was the size of a small hatchback.[/quote]

I've spotted a nice Sony player though relatively cheap. My last one was Sony. Lasted about 12 years or so.[/quote]

[quote=jrs][quote=foster]It's so hard to get people to watch videos. I can't imagine how hard it is to get people to read a book.[/quote]

Videos are everywhere. More accessible. Books on the other hand are easily accessible, just not used much.[/quote]

[quote=Tacitus]I'm on the guest list for a book launch tonight. :D

In these days of Kindles and Amazons, such things are becoming rarer. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else there is under 60. ;)[/quote]
