That's all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that you can't
rent movies in beta format at any rental places, you have to special
order one if you buy it, if it's even available at all on beta, and I
can't remember the last time I saw a blank beta cassett to tape a tv
show at home. Sure, beta was better than VHS, but it's pretty much
extinct now, unless you know of someplace to get stuff from. Amigas have
slowly been going the same direction, let's hope it isn't too late to
turn around at get back on top where it should be.
