I am blessed that my tapes have survived since 1980, when I first got my machine. I only keep them in the cardboard box, that they came in, and I keep them on bookselves, closets, and Rubbermaid boxes. They still play. I did like Beta best, and I have Beta tapes and 8MM. I love my tapes!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Judi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 23rd 2008 8:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rampant Fungus Destroying Old VHS Video Tapes]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</guid><description><![CDATA[We just had to pitch boxes full of tapes from the 80's & 90's last week. <br>They really were unwatchable and no amount of cleaning would help.

The Observer is a Sunday-only paper. Although co-published and sharing a website, "the UK Guardian's Observer newspaper" is a misnomer. Although as far as truth-telling is concerned, I certainly trust both papers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iain]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2008 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rampant Fungus Destroying Old VHS Video Tapes]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah Crap...I just woke up and now this.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lawrence Phoenix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2008 3:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rampant Fungus Destroying Old VHS Video Tapes]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lawrence, <br><br>my sentiments exactly.<br><br>S.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2008 2:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rampant Fungus Destroying Old VHS Video Tapes]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just one more reason why it would suck to be British...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MJZimmer88]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2008 8:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rampant Fungus Destroying Old VHS Video Tapes]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/virulent-mold-destroying-old-vhs-video-tapes/</guid><description><![CDATA[We are Americans living and working in Taiwan, where the summers are hot and humid like living in a steam bath. I discovered after our first year here that most of the kid's VHS movies had a covering of white dust, and would not play. Luckily, we were able to convert the tapes we had recorded of our kids when they were babies and toddlers to DVD, and that was because those tapes had been wrapped and stored, and not left on bookcases like the hunded or somovie VHS tapes we had. They are all gone now, and it's a great shame that I didn't know that would happen. Live and learn, I guess.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Danni]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2008 3:39AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
