Hipsters have gone too far this time...

That would be good. I've got a cupboard full of the darn things. In some ways I miss tapes, at least they didn't skip or randomly jump back to the start of the movie.

I still have a dual dvd/vhs player hooked up in my entertainment system.  I watch old VHS stuff all the time.

I think for most people, their interest in this "VHS revival" will wane somewhat after the first time they have to rewind a tape.

Just get one of these made for VHS!
 
(lol!)

Well, I still have my original Sony Beta-HIFI unit, and a bunch of Beta recordings scattered about. Problem is the content would be hard or impossible for me to replicate again. I have trouble tossing it all probably because of the sentimental attachment. The first Beta-HIFI movie I purchased was 'Mad Max: Road Warrior'. Wow! The audio absolutely smoked in Beta-HIFI compared to anything VHS offered at the time. That was some cools times for me. I haven't actually watched anything on it in years. I don't see this VHS thing being anything like Analog versus Digital audio though.

I remember watching Fort Apache, The Bronx on my uncles Betamax machine sometime in the early 80's. He had the audio coming out of his hi-fi speakers and I was utterly amazed at how it was possible to have a cinema in your own home. 
 
At school, you could always tell which kids didn't have a VCR player at home by the their hysterics when the teacher hit rewind on a video tape and everything was happening backwards. The kids who had VCRs were like meh, seen it a million times. 

The special effect I was most acquainted with in school was watching the projector lamp burn through the film when the teacher would stop the reel during the movie. We could also tell which kids had VCRs at home because their parents were time travelling billionaires. 
 
No, no one at my school had one. The closest piece of technology we had was an HP programmable calculator (HP25C). It weighed about 10 pounds (Ok, it was about 6 oz.), had a single line LED display, and cost about $80. It used RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) (No, I'm not kidding) and allowed basic calculations up to 49 steps. Our Calculus teacher thought it was too powerful for us and banned it from his class. Yes, I saved up money and bought one of those in the late '70's. A calculator, not a Calculus teacher, that is. I couldn't afford the teacher. 

I still love RPN calculators and yes, we still use them at work....

You couldn't afford the teacher, either, right?
