I have had to move boxes with vhs tapes and dvds into the storage
room to make it easy for me to get my apartment organized, this is the
sole reason. Many vhs tapes are still in my apartment and I will
eventually need to bring them all together somehow in my apartment,
the countless vhs tapes I have accumulated from my old place and
had to bring them where I have lived for a few years. Your feedback
is well appreciated, though. I have the vhs tapes in jackets and
will eventually have all in jackets.
