Do you have a DVD player?

Now that I have burned my first DVD with material we recorded last summer, I want to show it to our friends and family. But I notice a great difference between the people here and in Holland. All our family and friends here have a DVD player. Videotape is dead; DVD is the current device to use. It is almost impossible to rent e recent movie on tape. However, none of the Dutch people I have recently spoken have a DVD player! This includes my parents and my sister, probably the persons that are the most interested in our recordings. This weekend I will have to spend some time to copy the DVD contents to tape, so I will be able to show them our adventures in Thailand when we visit them in November.
I am wondering whether Spain really is more technically advanced than the Netherlands ---who would have expected that?---, whether my friends and family here are more gadget freaks than the people we know in the north of Europe, or whether I simply did not speak to the right people in the Netherlands. Do you have a DVD player?

Yup!
Got it for free when I payed up 150 Euro's for 300 Euro's worth of rental-credit at the videostore! Good deal! And it plays most formats as well!
And by the way, I'm Dutch...
...and I still have to meet someone I know that does NOT have a DVD-player ;-)
