L asked me to convert all of our old 8mm video camcorder tapes to DVD format. She wants to preserve our memories and have an easier way to watch and share them, besides the fact that these tapes are degrading with time.
We found out that Costco has a service to do this. It's $27.99 per 2 hour tape. We have a bunch of tapes made over the years, but I think it will be a worthwhile investment.
In other tech news, M and I think our next phones will be something like the Samsung Galaxy running Google's Android system. A lot of our friends seem to be getting these as they are apparently a lot cheaper than Iphones and they have or will soon have just as many apps or more.

Great idea with the tapes to DVDs. And have fun with the new phones! I am still using a 10 year old phone, but it still works! Valerie
Thanks for the tip! I think I will take a trip to Costco. I gave my brother some tapes a few years ago of my daughter when she was little and he was supposed to convert them and he (the huge procrastinator that he is) just set it aside. Time for me to proactive and get it done elsewhere. :-)
we did that with our old tapes as well, I have never saw those phones, I will be honest and say I hate cell phones, I really do!!!
Droids can be a better investment than iPhone. Just a little more risk since there are some bad droids out there, but I hear Galaxy is one of the best.
I have recently talked to several people who really like their Android phones. Gotta say, though, I'm an iPhone girl--after pooh-poohing the whole Apple thing, once I had an iPhone and saw how well they were set up and how easy to use, I was sold...
David transferred all of our video tapes to DVD himself. He also said that Apple is suing Samsung for copyright infringement.
I need to do this! But I'm so far behind, I don't even have photographs in albums! Oh dear! Come help me when you get yours done! lol....
