VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 22, 2004 In the top pic I am the second from the right. In the bottom pic I'm on the far left. There was 4 people in the Sr. class the year before mine (1986) and the year before that (1985) there was no Sr. class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Wow you graduated a few months before I was born <_< whats a beta tape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 22, 2004 Wow you graduated a few months before I was born <_< whats a beta tape? Beta was a similar format to VHS but the tape cartridge is smaller and the recording language is different. Beta was actually thought to be the superior machine but it didn't gain the larger support and died after about 5 or 6 years in favor of VHS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fenriz275 0 Posted April 24, 2004 What I always thought was interesting was that Beta was superior in terms of quality but still lost out to VHS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
