    Heh, VCRs aren't (or weren't, when there were actually lots of companies making them) all made the same; we had quite a few that broke within a year, and quite a few that are still operational today. They weren't even all the same format for a long time. Remember BetaMax? Cause I don't ;D

    Anyway, I don't think the question is a matter of "if", but when, in terms of LEDs. Nearly no technology with a clear, cheap, mass produced replacement with an easy, quick upgrade path that's superior in literally every respect has been able to keep significant footing for more than a decade after the replacement is introduced to the market at large. CRT? Dead within a decade of LCD. VHS? Dead within a decade of DVD. T12? Dead within a decade of T5 (in the fish world). The non-smartphone is dying since the iPhone was introduced. The ball mouse? Dead within a decade of the laser mouse. Typewriter? Relegated to a very specialized niche. I can go on and on with this, but I think you get the point.

    I actually have a Beta... and a Laser Disk... and a reel to reel audio player.

    I love toys.
