Hi Eric, In this "must be up to date" tech world, it's great to hear some good practical common sense advice from a man who certainly should know. Though retired now, I always found your advice about media right on target during my years at Sinai Temple Library and, before that, at other libraries and learning centers in LA. I use our VHS player at home to access those special tapes we've accrued, many hard to find in DVD. I'm grateful I didn't toss it too soon. Good to hear you're still on the job and as helpful as always. Best, Rita Frischer Seattle WA In a message dated 9/7/2012 5:47:10 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, e...@jewishvideo.com writes:
Dear Aileen: Though DVD is the "now" technology, there is no reason-especially if you cannot replace the VHS with DVD- why you should not continue to use the VHS tapes you have, especially if it is a simple "play all" situation. People are too quick to throw out their totally good VHS players. So put the VHS tape into the player and play it until it no longer plays! Eric Goldman, Ph.D. President Ergo Media Inc.

Our religious school just cleaned out the closet and dumped several bags/boxes of VHS tapes in the library. Some have worthwhile content. Is there anything I can do with them besides throwing them out or unwinding and using for Sukkah decorations?
