Thanks for posting this thread (it's not coronavirus at least)

I'd say it is great you have these. It's not a waste. My grandmother's memory has been reduced to one or two pictures, which my daughter will never understand. Look- a black and white picture of an old person.
These VCR/DVD tapes are the next generation of storing memories. You'll never watch them. I won't either, but some descendent will. This will progress until my grandmother is essentially a futurama head in a jar, talking about oleo, hanging her laundry out to dry with the underwear on the inner perimeter of the yard (surrounded by bedsheets so the neighbors couldn't see it), planting in her garden, while gramps, dad, and the uncles all sat in lawn chairs discussing Indy 500, the oil crisis, and the impending USSR invasion, as the clothes flapped in the warm breeze. Malboro reds, polyester, and Budweiser all the way.
Good times! I wish I had it on VCR!
