For those too young to remember this, when video tapes first came out there were two versions on the market, BetaMax and VHS.  Fairly quickly VHS won as the standard and Betamax was consigned to collectors!!!

For those of you too young to remember video tapes - xxxx off!!! Whistle

I remember VHS tapes. I used to mess about with the labels and numbers you used to get on the blank VHS tapes. Its like those people who have never had to use a biro to roll a cassette tape back when it unravelled.

You'd definitely get sued these days for injuring the thief.

Not to mention the seven innocent bystanders you'd impale on those spikes!

Anyway, come on; where's my computer pub?
