(bug busters)

It really doesn't matter which is better Beta or VHS!
If you want to trade with friends, then what do THEY use?
If you want lots of movies - you probably would be better off
with VHS.  (here, beta movies are hard to find)

If you want super high quality GET A LASER DISK !!!

If you want to be compatible in the long term, don't worry,
all of the Japan-based video companies have standardized
on the next wave of VCRs -- and it's 1/4 inch!

If you must record, and sit around worrying about S/N and
how many times you can dub a tape - GET A 3/4" or 1" deck.

All of this flaming is a waste of everyone's time.
Enough said.
