Wolfgang,

Yes U-Matics are still good. Digital tape is better, cheaper - and a heck of a lot more compact. Super VHS ain't too bad - though not broadcast production quality. How often do you review your tapes? The quality of the early ones is probably superior to the quality of the image recorded. All of these can be safely streamed off to SVHS - and edited in the process.

We can each make a movie of our entire life, but then who would spend their life watching it?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
