Wow, this is a hot topic! I to am in the process a completing my collection. Had I started saving the tapes when I started watching again a couple years ago I would be done by now. But in the beginning I didn't save the tapes. Then I got completely addicted and taped the 1840 PT time storyline and was thrilled to then start taping from the first episode. I'm especially glad to have these since I don't know if they will release them on DVD. I tape my own also to save $$$'s and space. I buy 8 hour tapes and tape at extended play so I get 16 episodes on a tape. That's the only way I could see doing it. I only buy the tapes if I'm missing an episode and currently I think I am only missing 2 episodes. (I need to order the tapes) They have some very compact VCR racks that hold 50 tapes and don't take up much room so I'm on my second rack. I also label each tape by # and list the episodes on them. *Occasationally, I'm lucky enough to catch a DS actor in another show and put those on my DS tapes too. The lastest catch was Jim Storm on the soap B & B.
However, I am also investing in the DVD. I love the clarity and extra interviews.
