Expensive at first, then cheap when they are popular. Remember the cost of vcrs and videotapes in the early eighties? I'm worried about my rather large CD collection become obsolete <vbg>

And how much does 3 6hr. tapes cost? With using VCR'S I have already purchased. (Don't tell me I have to give those away too) Tapes will become obsolete, but not because of TIVO. Recordable DVDs will replace tapes in the future. (And some sort of removable, non-moving recordable storage after that.) Obviously, TIVO does not replace a video library, or provide for permanent archiving (although you could tape the shows that you've recorded on the PVR, if you want to keep them). TIVO's first service is to make TV time shifting and program selection much easier. Once the box is in your house, and attached to your TV and phone line, it becomes a conduit for more advanced interactive services. After all, it is a Linux PC with a lot of disk. But your comments are especially valuable. It shows that this technology needs a lot better explaining before it is accepted. This is like DVD players two years ago, or CD players in 1982. (I remember a salesperson telling me that CD players wouldn't cost much less than $700 because they had already been out in Japan for a while.) I can't guarantee the performance of any stock, but I stayed in this one through the drop, and bought more on the way down. I don't do that with just any stock. Goodnight. Scott
