Dr. Aus, you wrote, "THE PART THAT REALLY BOTHERS ME STATES THAT... ...another Sony creation" which reminded me of a quote once attributed to Winston Churchill, "The best way to make history is to write history."

Aus, you don't know how right you were to post about Sony and what they don't know -- about what we know about what they know. What you can count on is that Sony will steal any idea there is and then back it with megabillions until the competition folds. Sony backed beta until it folded, VHS and then concentrated on "Hi-8" until they owned that too. They will continue with any "standard" anyone develops and/or is willing to follow. Sony copies, markets, occupies, and wins. Sony is the Japanese equivalent to MSFT ... except that the U.S. Dept. of Justice can't control them. Happy Monday to all. Where MSFT goes, all will follow. Except, of course, Sony. Craig
