while staring somewhat vacantly at a large array of video tapes on sale
at a local discount house (LaBelles), with prices ranging from $5 (special sale)
to $15 apiece, and trying to make a choice of what to buy, the thought came to
me:  are any of these really better than the others?  what is your experience,
netland?  Sony, Maxell, TDK, Polaroid?

i have seen both wet and dry head cleaner tapes.  what are the pros and cons
here?  another customer in the store told me he was told to bring unit in to
the dealer (not LaBelles) for "professional cleaning".

if Beta or VHS influences the answer, i'd appreciate knowing as we have both.
