VHS IS DEAD.
You have an interesting view of "dead." According to CEA's latest household-penetration statistics, 85% of U.S. homes have a stand-alone VCR, admittedly down from 90% last year; 36% have a TV/VCR combo, which is UP from 35% last year. 


Quantegy just announced that they are stopping production of videotape...
So? They stopped making professional audio tape long ago. That was a nuisance, but there were other sources. When was the last time anyone bought a Quantegy VHS cassette?
I think the rules only apply to new units sold to retailers after March 1.
Not quite. It's to any units manufactured in or imported to the U.S. or shipped interstate after March 1. 

TTFN,
Mark
