Yep, got one of them too!. An old Breville thing still, which is still going strong.

Still widely used in the industry, due to the quality of picture. Only just now being replaced by HDCam decks. Suck on that one, VHS!!

Right, I loves me tech, I does.

We had a Sony Betamax, my old man was a nut for anything with the Sony name - going back to the early 70's, remember bringing it in to get repaired. Guy in repair shop told me that the Betamax was far superior to the VHS format. Also said that Betamax was really built as a recorder whereas the VHS machine were really players but could also record.

Sony have learnt from that particular lesson.

Whenever I get a new phone, I aways get a simple, crap one and the guys in the shop don't understand my logic. However, it's much cheaper, easier to use and there's less to go wrong with it. If I want to go online, I'll use a bloody laptop!

I actually agree with your logic there Sam Although that being said, I am like one of the only ones in the country within the 21-25 age group who refuses to "upgrade" to a touch screen phone so I wouldn't exactly take what I said as like gospel or anything ... Maybe that's why I'm still stuck here in the Asylum
