	I have a LaserDisc machine.  My goal is a good picture.  That
lets out VHS.  Plenty of laser discs for rent around LA.  :-)  And I've
about given up on Star Trek.

        However, I'llbe fair here.  I did recently BUY a set of
pre-recorded VHS tapes.  I bought 'em in London.  They're tapes of
the BBC miniseries _Neverwhere_, scripted by Neil Gaiman of Sandman fame.
They're in PAL format (of course).  I had 'em scan-converted here in LA.
