Decided to stock up on blank tape while I still have the chance.  I haven't made a VHS recording in years, but still play a lot of pre-recorded tapes.  I decided that I should have a few blank tapes around just in case the DVD/HDD machine died for some reason.  This actually happened once already.  I didn't want to get the budget quality tape at the local discount store, so I opted for some decent Maxell High Grade like I used to get.
