But you see, when buying video tape I found many of the makes such as
FUJI, JVC, MITSUBISHI, TDK to be awful. Years ago I would have sworn
by these brands. It seemed like hardly anyone cared any more and every
time a company 'improved' their tapes they in fact got worse. So
looking at names like this doesn't inspire me with joy anyway.
