I think one could make an argument that the old Usenet adage that the discussion's over when someone invokes the Nazis in the argument, applies in technical newsgroups to Beta vs. VHS. FWIW, I don't own a VHS machine. I tape all my stuff in Beta II. It is my semi-lighthearted mission to avoid the VHS format entirely, until digital TV eliminates it. At least in its current form. Yes, Sony still makes Beta players and beta tape, and yes, you can find both here in LA. I do. Mike O'Brien
