Given the technical superiority of Beta over VHS, why does VHS apparently
command the lion's share of the market?  Please don't attribute this to the
fact that more prerecorded tapes are available in VHS than Beta; I view
that as a symptom, rather than a cause.  Are VHS machines cheaper, more
common due to licensing restrictions on Beta, or what?
