Same places. My dad routinely buys boxes of twenty or so; he might keep
one or two of them and then write over the rest ("another bad kung fu
tape!" :-) for blanks.

% Wow, man, I've only seen a Beta up close ONCE, and it was non-functional.
% And, of course, I got to see, from a distance, someone useing a Beta

% better than any old PC.
As far as the hardware, it's just like any other. The real joy is in
little things like watching 8x fast forward with utter clarity :-)
