And I was also one of the first people I knew to own a CD burner and DVD-ROM drive several years before they became standard equipment on PCs.

Original 1954 version. Other DVDs followed. A good many were movies I previously had on VHS. Went through the same crap with the vinyl to CD revolution. Cost me lots of $$.

I've never bought any movies on DVD. Since I normally watch only once, I figured it was better to rent.

first movie. The Prisoner was the first TV series. Very overpriced but loved it still. Cost almost $200 to get 18 episodes (original 17 plus alternate version of The Chimes of Big Ben or COBB as it may be cluefully known)
