Not all of us have endless cash to replace old technology, especially when it comes to all the stuff I have on video tape. If I threw out my VCR and replaced all my tapes with DVDs it would cost me hundreds and hundreds. VCRs work just fine, thanks - quality isn't as good for sure, but it's good enough. Quality can only get so good, no matter how much better manufacturers keep telling you their stuff is getting.
And I'll throw out my turntable only when all my vinyl has been re-released on CD (fat chance) and when someone wants to replace my 2000 LPs with CDs...
I still use cassette tapes as well, but only in the car. It doesn't have a CD player because they cost a fortune. It's still good enough quality to make me go deaf
