Back in the 80's when I was a single mother with younger kids and not much money, I'd rent videos on the weekend at our local Blockbuster for a family night, or I'd have friends over for movie night.
When a popular movie was due out, it was rented on a first come, first serve basis. I remember waiting literally in a fairly decent crowd for them to put a movie on the shelf and whoever got it first rented it (there were limited number of copies then for some reason).
Back in the early nineties, I remember waiting in line at the local Blockbuster waiting to buy concert tickets for the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" tour. Line was huge, but weather was great, everyone was excited and it was a mini party there in the parking lot.
Anyway, don't blink, things will change. I heard something about another "gizmo/thingy" to replace the CD. Great, now that I've got many of my favorites on CD. No stopping progress.
