   I was lucky not to have a large library of prerecorded VHS.  I was also a late   
   enough adopter that among my first DVD purchases were the Universal Legacy   
   sets of their monster movies, so that is my standard of quality in a   
   purchase.  Only one of the    
   factors in purchase is the extras, perhaps the main one is if I figure I'll   
   want to see it more than some source will want to show it to me.  As I had   
   also gotten into anime early in the century, DVD was the *only* way to see   
   some of them!  That's a    
   whole area that needs systematic rethinking in light of streaming.

   I don't think I've see that, although I don't know why I didn't go on to it   
   after renting "The Thirteenth Floor" and "World on a Wire."
