Yeah,

It seems the Performing Arts - audio recording artists and video artists are going to balk at ANY digital reproduction techniques...I suppose if there were a "royalty" on each and every Read/Write DVD cassette sold that went to the "Perfoming Artists" fund, they may be placated for awhile.

But wouldn't it be nice if you could store your old home movies, camcorder movies etc on a DVD, index the "chapters" and be able to show Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary your family pix from Christmas 1993, and quickly and easily zip to the 1997 European vacation clips within seconds? Of course, there will always be some folks who feel they have to "steal" a DVD movie, and store it on their own DVD device. But then, aren't we doing that now with VHS tapes??

I sure hope that DVD doesn't go "down the tubes" as digital tape did about six or seven years ago. Didn't the "Performing Artists" union put the nixie on that?

Just to keep this On Topic,
Looks like rambus opening flat to down this morning.

Buying opportunity yet? Or wait till next week?
