Actually I think the laserdisc/DVD wars are more similar. There are these
DVD nitwits who think they're the greatest thing ever and wonder why people
still have LDs. I have 225 or so LDs and I expect I'll get DVD one of these
days, but not because of the nitwits. Plus the DVD player I get will be one
of the combo players from Pioneer so I can get a high end LD player at the
same time.

Owning LDs is a lot like using Apple computers in that they are a pretty
small share of the video market. But since new releases are still coming
out, I could care less that 99+ per cent of people watch movies on VHS.
