    VHS as an archival format strikes me as crazy talk.

From a technical standpoint that's fair enough.

But as a broader concept, I really like this. I was talking with someone about this last night, actually, about how the down side to streaming and all that is that you lose out on the community experience. Sure it takes more time, but you got to know the people at the store, and it was a bigger deal when it was something that you couldn't just sit down and pull up almost anything you want on a given streaming service.
