DVD vs VHS? VCR vs DVD Player?

[Ludwick Mary <ludwickm@LISD.NET>]

Wondering:
I need to purchase 4 new VCRs.   However with technology going to DVD,
should I purchase VHS VCRs or DVD players?  If I purchase DVD players,
we have no discs to use.
However I hesitate to purchase VCRs if they would quickly be obsolete.
Like everyone else, our funds are limited.   I think it will probably
take 10 years for all VHS to be phased out.  Is this logical or do you
think it will take over things more quickly?
What are your thoughts/opinions?
Answer to the list so that we might all participate in the discussion,
please.
