Mike, digital video systems are still very expensive when you compate it to tapes. The current retail cost per station (kiosk) is about $25,000 or $500,000 per system of 20 kiosks. Actually, we are in a very early stage of this technology and it's really not ready for prime time yet. I expect prices to come down 80% - 90% within the next five years. The reason why people like the digital version of the horse racing tapes is that it lets them view a very large number of races without spending the time and effort searching/loading tapes. I still wonder if it makes sense for a horse racing club to deploy such a system. I guess it depends on their ROI. Amir
