Greg with his new Sony Betamax in the Minot AFB BOQ, 1978

This was the first one-hour machine.  Note the timer on the top of the unit.  The first recording I made was an episode of M*A*S*H.

I read that Sony had no idea in the beginning that people would want to record and then preserve TV shows and movies, creating vast libraries for their repeated watching.
