<Every time you watch TV, chances are you are watching a taped program from Beta SP. Beta is the standard format behind the scenes that consumers never see. > Really? What happened to D-1 and D-2? Last I heard, Brodcast Beta was only 500 lines. And wasn't Hi-8 the format that brought us the gulf war? < it is conceivable that Iomega can set the standard for crappy consumer stuff> Umm, Rock, I hate to break the news to you, but we longs are in IOM because it is a consumer oriented company. You may think it is "crappy", we don't. <That 4.7 Gig Quest is a breakthrough in audio/video technology.Even 2 Gig Jaz is too small to do many serious video applications, but 4.7 Gigs is some serious storage-- maybe too hard for many professionals to ignore. > Average consumers can and should ignore it until the FAT32 file system is standard. It has been out for a year now (since Win95 OSR2), and NO ONE turns it on in any shipping PC ! There are bugs in it, and it has been called (by high-end professionals) the worst idea MS has ever come up with. With FAT16, as long as you cannot format a removable, you can only use 2.1 of your 4.7 GB anyway.
