Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Aliceanne, My parents got my sons a dvd/vcr player for Christmas. Some of my husband's friends converted over to dvd and gave us all their vcr tapes. They'll be collector's items before you know it.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 My first clue that this vendor obviously didn't know what he was talking about was the statement that CDs and DVDs will be made smaller. I don't think this could be done because then everyone would have to run out and buy new CD players and new DVD players because of the smaller disks not fitting properly into the present players without some sort of adapter or they wouldn't spin properly. I suspect the vendor might not make cassettes anymore, but cassettes will still be available for some time yet I'm sure. I think he was just using scare tactics to sell new equipment. That's my 2 cents. Jan jantranscribes@... " Typing is my life. " " Whoever signs the paycheck makes the rules. " Microcassette tapes I just heard something interesting. My supervisor just called me to tell me that she spoke to a vendor yesterday (she does not remember the vendor name) and he was asking what type of equipment we use and she told him that we use the Dictaphone C-phones, Walkabouts and microcassette recorders. He told her that microcassettes will not be made anymore after November of next year; that it will be digital equipment that will be used and that DVDs or CDs will be made smaller. Has anyone else heard this. He said that we will need to get our doctors to use our phone system (which we wanted to do anyway), but some of the older doctors don't like new technology or change and only want to dictate in to a recorder. I just thought this was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Yeah I do and I was furious when 8 tracks were not around any more as I had just bought a player. I tend to wait for ages before I buy these things and I guess they are on the way out by then. I mentioned to the cashier at Best Buy that it is not right. We go out and are forced to upgrade or update and no sooner then we do it technology changes again. How long before the digital remains in its present state. Or DVDs for that matter. My neighbor just told me he bought a combination VHS.DVD player. My remark was how many months before he needs to buy something else. I think the 8-tracks were the shortest lived item.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 If the become collectors items, we'll be set! My mom has bought most of the Disney videos for each set of grandkids. We also have a large variety of Barney tapes (I'll be glad when that stage is over!), Dora, Bob the Builder, Veggie Tales, etc. We got a CD/DVD player for Christmas last year, but we don't have much of a collection of DVDs yet.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 I've lived through all the transitions in this exciting techno-age, and I'm frankly tired of having to update everything, nice as some of it is. I give my oath: I will never buy a DVD player. (I use the VCR extensively, but for taping programs to watch later.) I will never buy TIVO, Web TV, or like product. That's waaaaay too much money to spend on television viewing. I will never buy a cell phone (ihopeihope), unless it's to replace the regular phone completely. I'll never NEVER be able to replace my very extensive music CD collection, so it will stay as such. And probably a few other things. I'll check back in a decade or so let ya know how I'm doin ' ........ Anyone have a remote controlled dual cassette deck for a home stereo system? It's difficult to find what I'm still attached to and use extensively. <sigh> patb Pat's Paradise Where I'm techno-challenged in my mind and my brain. And my wallet.
