VHS or Bust

Just looking at a VHS tape reminds you of how much things have changed since the â90s. Buy âem or rent them, there was no menu screen, just âplayâ followed by 15 minutes of movie previews. You could also record over the tape several times, so if you saw a TV program you wanted to record, youâd change the label on the VHS and pop in the tape. Youâd also have to wait 10 minutes for the tape to rewind before watching it because no one followed the âbe kind, rewindâ rule.
