As someone who as part of my work went through the transition from film and analogue video to digital video and where we now are, I threw away my VHS, Betacam, Umatic, and other equipment with glee! In the same way, I and thousands of other engineers happily moved away from cassette and vinyl with their narrow bandwidth, and many other faults. I find some people's love affair with past technology that they never had to SUFFER as we did mind numbing.
