Betamax is about to die, though I had no clue it was still living on. Back when I was a kid, my parents bought their first VCR and unfortunately chose Beta. I remember going to the video store and having to pick out a video from the smaller, segregated section of the store. For once, I understood what it was like to be an oppressed minority with seperate but unequal treatment. It was a hard and trying time until my parents finally got VHS, but, I survived, and I believe it made me the man I am today.
