I gotta give sony credit for trying, but I fear, like SACD, it will never REALLY get off the ground.

For sale, one s/h Betamax video recorder.

Practically unused.

Or p/ex for an eight-track music cassette player.

Hey Spotty, "all those years ago" I had to settle for a Commodore Vic 20 because I couldn't afford that 99/a.

I'm still in counseling over that issue!!!!!

Perhaps call me pollyanna, and of course with the economy the way it is who knows what's coming, but my hope was that people would get used to buying Blu-ray video discs and associate the "Blue Ray" with that.

Let's face it, we'll all be killing each other with bows and arrows over the last scraps of foods by this time next year....


...If you believe the papers, anyway.

Never read papers. It's all lies. Well, except the bits that are true ...
