I'm one of the people who strongly recommends Tempurpedic mattresses. I wasn't sold on them at first because of the 'no bounce' aspect and that you more or less have to roll yourself out of bed in the morning. But it is by far the best mattress I've ever slept on. Don't tell me about sleep number or any of that other crap. I'll never own another kind of mattress again.

Never had you pegged as a hippie.

I'll add a disclaimer just in case any kids are reading this website: The above philosophy is wrong, material things are the ONLY things that will make you happy. And most of the time they won't do that.

Partly. Betamax tapes were also roughly one hour long to be able to better preserve picture and sound quality. Vhs tapes came in at 2 hours, thus more movies easily fit onto a single tape. The video rental market took off and Betamax died out.
This is a lot of it.

The biggest factor though was that JVC (who designed the VHS technology) would license it to any manufacturer who wanted it. Whereas Sony (Betamax) would not let anyone else use their technology and make Beta machines.

So, VHS was made by sooooo many manufacturers that the cost dipped and was affordable to everyone. The quality wasn't THAT much different. Beta was a little better, but not good enough to beat the cost.

I need to read up on why it failed


I think it was recording length. They could only record one hour to a tape when it first came out. VHS could record 3 hours when introduced.
