      Wow. What a long and productive run. I used to watch the telethon with my late cousin. We would make sheet "forts" and try to stay up for the whole thing.

  20. Q: Who knows how Betamax got its name?

      Justin

      It had a double-meaning: beta is the Japanese word for the way signals are recorded on the tape; and the shape of the lowercase Greek letter beta (β) resembles the course of the tape through the transport

    3. Atari 5200 Guy

      Had one during my high school days. The way the tape was fed around the video drum was very weird compared to VHS. That thing must have pulled out about a foot of tape. Interesting to see and by far the better video quality was on Beta. I wish I would have kept it but I couldn't find any movies or more blank tapes.

      I never knew that was the reason. It seems so obvious now.
