I’ve recently chucked a *lot* of old VHS tapes. I first got access to a recorder back in the late 80’s and wound up recording a *lot* of stuff that, in retrospect, I just didn’t need anymore. Invader Zim and Babylon 5, along with prit near every sci-fi movie to hit HBO from 1988 or so until maybe 2004, bits of news events, documentaries, etc. As much as those tapes cost to purchase back in the day, they have transformed into zero value today. Ce la vie, I guess. Along with tossing those self-copied tapes, I also junked a whole bunch of taped movies that I bought… pretty much all of which have been subsequently replaced with DVDs or Blu Rays. It didn’t occur to me that, perhaps, someone might have some interest in them. It still doesn’t, really, but who knows. Shown here are the commercial VHS tapes that I still have, some still wrapped in plastic, the great majority of which were only watched a few times. If anyone wants them, let me know. The “Animal House” one is a weird mishmash of tech… it has a CD-ROM in a pocket on the back of the box.
Also on hand are a *bunch* of microfiche of the Journal of Organic Chemistry, issues dating from 1993 to 1995. There’s a *lot* of stuff here for anyone who ants to toss me a coupe of bucks and pay the postage. Otherwise, these, like the VHS tapes, will enter an exciting new adventure called “landfill.”
Update: Trashed. They belong to the ages now.
