IDK why, but for some reason it seems amazing how long the VHS format lasted (from the 70s to around 2006). My family didn't have a DVD player until about 2005.
You're still ahead of mine by at least a year. Even then, we didn't start buying DVDs regularly; there are over a hundred VHS cassettes gathering dust in the basement, and almost all of them were bought after we "switched over".
