If they aren't store bought movie videos (which usually have Macro
protection from copying), you can pretty easily convert them to a DVD

Ya gotta admit though, the period where some PC's used cassette tape
drives just plain sucked.  Ever try to load a big program from one of
those?

When I built my second PC in 1982, I bought a double 1 mbyte 8" floppy
drive for $600, all in one physical case.  I had heard of them hard disk

On a similar note, I have many boxes of VHS tapes in the basement, which
I haven't even opened since we moved up from Mexico in 2000.  I actually
do have a TV with a VCR built into it but when that goes...
