...to VHS. That's right, folks. They're leaving the Uni High Library.
After supervisor Amy emailed staff a couple of times asking them to come save their favorite VHS's, no one replied...no one responded...no one acted. So, they're going, weeded out of the collection. We might have typewriters, we might be able to get you a LaserDisc, but we won't have any VHS readily available for the Uni masses anymore.
I do love a good VHS. To be honest, though, the collection wasn't great.
If there had been some unrequited gems on the shelves, like Hackers to teach computer literacy history or Toy Soldiers to help students learn how to survive a hostile high school takeover by Colombian drug lords, then I would be a bit more disappointed that the teachers didn't act. This VHS "technology" is just too old school to be cool at this school. Off to the archives they go. Alas, I guess it's just another sign o' the times.
(Oh! And ending with a Prince reference. Nice one, McFarlane. Nice one.)
