HOME MOVIES!
This is one of those unusual "holidays"
that isn't very old but is quickly disappearing!
This is "VCR Day." The video cassette
recorder became a common appliance in
most homes in the 1970's. They were a
major improvement over the old home
movies filmed on 8mm movie film! First
they included sound. Seconly, a video
cassette could record between two and six
hours as opposed to the three minutes you'd
get with 8mm movie film. Of course technolgy
has now swept by those cassette tapes. They
have been replaced by video discs and even
more advanced recording units. Hope you've
saved some of those VSH tape though or, better
yet, have had them converted to other, longer
lasting. forms. They preserve valued treasures
of family movies that deserve to be preserved!
Hope you're well and that all your NEWS is
good!
