but who the heck owns an actual VCR anymore?
Me fourth! Simply because I cannot afford a hard drive recorder (which I would deem most practical nowadays), and the TV line-up usually is so crappy over here that it isn´t worth recording stuff (although they are running "Tales of the City" now, and that would be nice to keep, although what I´ve seen so far isn´t quite on par with the books).
Richard III is actually available on DVD - I watched it two weeks ago, having rented it from my local library.
