VHS tapes?
Sales of Hi-Def DVDs Outpace VHS Tapes
My first thought: VHS tapes still exist as new consumer items on sale now, and not just as doorstops in my apartment?

who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

Yeah, what the hey? I think it was about a year ago I read that *blank* VHS tapes were starting to go the way of the dodo, with only a few companies even making them anymore, and fewer stores selling them.
Maybe VHS is still hanging on in some international markets? In any case, it seems to me more damning with faint praise for the Hi-Def DVDs than anything else.
