Me as well. They are becoming increasingly hard to find though so hopefully these will last a while.

We have three. One with the main t.v. for the kid's tapes that I am not going to replace with DVDs plus they use them in the portable one in my wife's car. I also have one in my bedroom that has been disconnected ever since I moved into my house a few months ago. I only have it if the kids want to watch something different on tape while we're watching the main t.v. but I may just put it in my son's room.

On the other hand I have one standalone DVD player and one in my computer. Such better quality. ;)

Actually I just bought a DVD/VCR combo for my bedroom. The wife still has some VHS tapes she likes to watch.

There's still a VCR hooked up to the family room TV, but I swear it doesn't work...

I have one but I only use it to watch movies I own on tape. Once I've replaced them with DVD's it's out the door.

We have one because our TV is old and doesen't deal with cable channels by itself.

There's one at my house but it's not mine. I refuse to touch it and would prefer not to have to look at it either.
