Re: LPs, VHS & 35mm Film
I share some of this ground with Mel. I still have about 2000 LPs (as opposed to around 4000 CDs) and have never been without a turntable as part of of my home stereo. I've also got around 2800 cassette tapes that I've made, many of them containing radio programs from the late '70s through mid '90s. And I still use VHS tapes on a daily basis, and have several hundred around the house.
Last fall, I bought a new computer into which I could hook up the stereo and the VCR, to burn CDs/DVDs, but I still haven't made the effort to do so. I'm not particularly inspired to duplicate much of my audio-visual materials into yet another format, since I can still get decent quality out of the turntable, the cassette deck, and the VCRs; copying them onto digital discs would provide little benefit to me (more to the AF, however, who would like to put some of my vinyl onto her mp3 player.)
