Very thoughtful comments Paul. Good argument on several points, but your comments about content hit the problem squarely. While at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) convention to see, among other things, the presence of Quantum, HDTV (high definition TV) was again the key technology being hyped. Many there were stating that DVR (digital video recorders - the things that will consume our beloved HDDs) will be tied to consumer acceptance of HDTV and HDTV is tied directly to content. Folks there were trying to figure out what they could show consumers that would drive them to want to see it in definitions higher than what they "enjoy" now. No straight answers here. Responses ranged from auto racing to movies, but I didn't hear anyone mention that HDTV broadcasts of the Teletubbies would enhance the viewing experience for my two year old grandson. Content will be a complex issue. Regards, LT
