I'm one of those (broadcaster/editor/producer/etc..), and I still keep a 
BVU800 in the rack for legacy archive tapes - we have too many to transfer to 
newer formats. I've transferred anything that was "can't-lose", but the rest 
is dependent on that old 800 - now, you wouldn't remember where that 
"programming jumper pin" was on the 800, would you? Oh, never mind -- I'm 
afraid if I move that behemoth, it'll break.... '-)
