Scott,

Well, technically I keep everything. Yes, I have Beta tapes back to 1977
when I bought my first machine. However, you may have noticed I have
moved to recording on DVD now. I have the computer with DVD recording,
plus two stand alone units. Plus my satellite equip. is new with digital
Mpeg, Star Choice, 4DTV. Yes, I still have record players that still
play 78s and also an 8 track machine. So I have most of the technology
through the years still in use. I just add stuff, I don't throw it away
unles it wears out. hi.
99% of my TV recording is on DVD now. All of my reception reports now I
enclose a CD. So I think I am up to date except for HDTV. That is down
the road a bit. But I will get one in time, if nothing else to get the
best quality from my DVDs. My TV set is a 1988 Radio Shack set, you
might have noticed. hi.
   As far as the LCD/DLP HDTV sets go, I am told there is one issue. The
tube type still looks the best, but things are moving to the LCD/DLP
types, but the issue is with the bulb in the set. They tend to burn out
and they cost $200-$400 each! But the tube type HDTV sets are little by
little going away.
