  I was in a BlockBuster here two nights ago and was surprised to find that at leat 80% of
the VCR tapes have been replaced by DVDs.  I guess DVDs don't wear out and they take
up less space, That equals higher profit for BlockBuster.

 Our local Blockbuster Video here in Chicago is rapidly
decreasing the number
of video cassettes it rents, in favor of DVD's. Soon there won't be any
available, except at the public library or specialty rental stores. I guess
they are trying to force users to switch to DVD.
