Farewell storage at home

So farewell then, VHS - but also farewell DVD in a
fairly short time, I'm guessing. Why am I guessing
this? Because there's
video on demand
on the way from Wanadoo, that's why. So you get your
little box, you tell it to show you part 2 of The
Long Firm or whatever
now
and it does so. And in theory you can have your
storage space back.
It won't work overnight of course; for reasons I don't understand, even though I'm as much part of it as anyone, blokes in particular like to hold our DVD collections, in the same way we enjoy touching books we're never going to read again but won't ever throw away. But for the sensible contingent this could be a worthwhile development.
