When we bought our VCR (two weeks ago) we wound up buying VHS, even
though the BETA format machines were significantly cheaper.  EVERY
salesman we spoke to, including one at a store that only sold BETA
informed us that BETA was on the way out.  The general concensus
(sp) was that BETA would behave like 8-tracks, still available, but
in limited quantity and quality.
