Another quote from another Christmas movie. This one is actually a favorite of my family. We watch it every year just before Christmas. Thanks to DVDs we have a wide ranging collection of Christmas movies besides the Christmas Carol collection I referred to in my earlier post.
The collection used to be on VHS. Over these later years, we have slowly been replacing the tapes with DVDs. It is a good thing we did since our old VCR won't interact with our new television.
Have you ever bought a new piece of technology that made some older piece of technology you had obsolete?

I have many DVD's myself. But not too many. See, I had loads of VHS tapes. I used to tape movies like crazy. Now with iTunes, I can find just about anything I want there. They all stay in the cloud in digital form. And I can watch them whenever I want. And YouTube is another awesome place to find some old movies. I actually found the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol starring Allistar Sim. That one, Scrooge is my favorite version. I also found some old Abbot and Costello movies. So I don't bother anymore with DVD's. Yes I have some, but I will be getting rid of them like I did my VHS tapes. I wish they had this digital technology back in the 80's.

@DWDavis I have some good internet here. I cannot complain. I know they are looking to have super fast connections leeds. Like AT&T is got one in certain states. Fits as well. But where I am I have Optimum. That is, or should I say, was Cablevision. They were sold to a French company. But I have blazing fast internet and a great router as well. The Apple Airport Extreme. So most everything wireless in my house works fine. I hope you can get some good high speed internet there to stream. That is the future of TV and everything else it seems.

The VCR did not really last that long. I wonder is the dvd's will be replaced with something else in a few years.

It seems that is the grand scheme.

My older techie stuff seems to get olde too quickly even before I get newer stuff. We have loads of vhs movies stored in the basement. I should go through them and donate the good ones to the library if they still have the players to use them, that is.
