I just put a brand new 19" TV on lay-away!
 

Woot Woot! I can pick it up in 6 months when I get it paid off! I'm stoked! No more black and white for me! :thumbsup

I'm saving up for cable, too! This has been the best year EVER!

congrats rob

I have a VHS player laying around if you want it ... :thumbsup

But all my tapes are Beta Max. Will those fit?

NO sorry bro .... but i can get you a Commodore 64 if you need a computer upgrade ... :thumbsup

I still got a lot of beta casettes in the basement ! ROFL

My Vic 20 with the turbo cartridge is working fine but thanks for the offer! :thumbsup

A friend of mine bought a new betamax when they first came out and had one hell of a collection of classic porn on beta tapes. Probably over 100 tapes. He got sober in the early 90's and was cleaning out his basement and all the tapes and the player went in the trash. Damn shame. I love old porn. Easily transferred to dvd these days.

I remember my brother in-law buying Laser Disc's like crazy when they came out ... anyone still use those ..or was that short lived ...???

awesome!

Arent most news stations cameras still betamax? lol Or have they gone dv now. I know up till not long it was still beta

loohoo-ser

I am not really ino some high tech stuff so let me just congratulate you guys for being so updated. :winkwink:

Just because someone isn't a baller like yourself doesn't make them a loser. I've had to manage my money for 3 years to be able to afford the down payment for my 19 incher. I'm proud of that.

You big ballers with your plasma 62" tvs just like to call us losers because it makes you feel better about yourself.

congratz to you rob.

much music requires music videos to be on beta casettes

word, I'm hoping to upgrade the 12"

Rob...give me that fucking 360....I'll shave AcidFlyers.com into my head for 2 hours. And walk around the mall with it or something.

hah I remember when cable tv was just a dream
Now i have 3 different cable/dish services

George, tell you're father about layaway

Good for you Rob.

I've got an LD player and about 75 discs. I picked them up when the Blockbuster in my neighborhood started carrying DVDs.

The quality of the picture and sound is much better. I probably use mine a few times a month still.

this has got to be a joke thread :1orglaugh
19 inch tv's arent expensive :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

damn! You guys are way ahead of me! Shit!

Ive still got boxes full of 8mm films from the 60s collected over a few years - stored away somewhere around here :)

wanna buy jurassic park on LD?

no shit sherlock...

ya ... he still has his player ... he bought all his LD at blockbuster and tower records here ... he must have 50-75 ..all the classics and shit ... he told me the same thing that there better quality ..if i recall they went for big bucks compared to DVDs ...

LOL I used to do film to tape transfers. Youd be amazed at the stuff we used to get. Ill give ya 20 bucks for the whole box :thumbsup

all my favourite porn is on vhs..lol

Back in the day I went for the RCA CED player because nobody locally was stocking LDs. What a POS, too many of the dscs would skip in the same place every time. It was neat to have a couple of old favorite films on demand but I gave up on it after about a dozen discs and went for my first VCR (in 1981). It cost over $1K (on sale), only had 13 channels and a wired remote control :1orglaugh
