Random Thought: VHS Tapes

Do you guys remember a time when you would go into Blockbuster or any other video rental place and rent VHS casettes? I was one of the last people to buy a dvd player when they were first released. I actually only bought a dvd player a few years ago. Anyways, my question is, do any of you remember when they replaced the vhs movies in blockbuster for the dvd movies? did it just happen overnight or some sh*t? Im far from being "technologically challenged" but when I walked into blockbuster right when the changeover happened I was freaking out. I was looking around and sh*t wondering where the hell all of the vhs tapes went. Did they just one day throw that sh*t out? did they give them away? cause if they did, i'll take them! did they send out a newsletter to all blockbuster card holders saying that their vhs machines are now obsolete and youre a poor bastard if you still own one? cause i didnt get that memo thats for damn sure. i walked into the store like a baffoon asking the early teen employee where the vhs tapes were. this kid had no idea what i was talking about either. i remember him looking at me like i was from the 1930s. then i remember him looking at me all smug saying, "heh, its all dvds now. its new." well thank you scientist for that explanation. i can fuc*king clearly see its all dvds and its new. seeing that the store was filled with moronic child workers, i remember trying to find a section for the vhs tapes. another employee of indian descent came up to me and says, "hey sir, if you are the looking for the casettes taping it is in the back." i know whats in the back of blockbuster. in the back is where the porn movies are and the other filth. this indian guy tried to do some entrapment sh*t on me. trying to make a vhs owner look like a perv too. anyways this post has no point. i just remembered that day because someone at work mentioned vhs. and i know i didnt use proper gramar or punctuation in this post because this was a spur of the moment post. but yeah, where the fuck did all of the vhs tapes go? did they just burn that sh*t in a big pile because they were ashamed of its insolent existance??? man...the same sh*t better not happen to dvds because of blueray. i dont want to buy a whole new collection of that sh*t.
