Yeah, once you have enough stuff in it, it really does feel like using a decent streaming service.

Possibly better than a lot of them, since it's not as if you're getting ads or terrible suggestions.

Well, sure, that's pleasant, but then there's the unpleasantness of having a pile of stuff that has questionable amounts of usage.

So I've tended to really only hold on to stuff that I think would be hard to find again. So things like the BBS Documentary (which, admittedly, my copy lives at my brother's place, I think), or the variety of organ DVDs I've been collecting.
