It wasn't until very recently that VCRs and VHS movies stopped being carried on store shelves, and I think it is very possible that DVD will live longer after the release of the "replacement" format than VHS simply because DVD is dramatically cheaper than VHS was (both in terms of discs and players) and many people will be fairly happy with a low-cost upconverting DVD player for years.

Most major retailers dropped VHS's at least 4 years ago...although you can still buy combo DVD/VHS players. Best Buy dropped VHS in store around 2002...
I don't know what stores you shop at.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
