Stanley, "Software" ???? I presume you mean pre-recorded video tapes. You seem to forget that originally there were only Beta tapes. VHS didn't come out until Beta had been on the scene for a while. Also, unlike computers, to "port" a tape, you only need a different tape duplicator. The tape companies simply tapes based on customer demand. As demand for VHS grew, so did the availability of pre-recorded tapes. As the demand for Beta slowed, so did the availability of pre-recorded tapes. Howver, so far, I've yet to find a title that's not available on Beta, you just have to look a lot harder to find it. Don
