Last Company Known To Make VCRs To Stop Production By August

I still have a VHS VCR A Panasonic which I am loathe to get rid of, simply because it originally cost over £1000 when new. Although it was a domestic machine, rather than industrial. It did absolutely everything with regards to editing tapes. I still have a few VHS tapes, which I really should transfer. That's the main reason I am holding onto the VCR.

One is reminded how old they are when they see technology come and go, not just become outdated/updated but finished, period. I even remember when Beta was supposed to be the thing and knew people who had one.

It was nice not having to wait for a rerun to watch a show instead taping it and watching at your leisure. I was binge watching before it became a fad. I started trashing tapes years ago. Funny what I miss about the tapes is not having the commercials and news teasers because that was a true reflection of the times.

Another one bites the dust.
 

I've been an enemy of commercials since... I dunno. Forever. I knew this day would come eventually. But yeah, some commercials were keepers.
