Hope some of you were buying on the dip this morning . . . Stock's back to $28.125 on VERY HEAVY VOLUME. Look's like we're going above $30 very soon.

>>As to the format issue you mentioned, the worst case would be if both PC and MAC were in the same position vis-a-vis n-hand as they are to each other, that is, they both need adaptor software to get the data off the disk.<< I'm rather dismayed by the lack of response to my technical question. This is a most important legitimate question that must be asked before all of the RAH RAH RAH about no.hand can be continued. Does adopting no.hand mean that cameras would have to format each no.hand disc with a common OS (Win95)? Steve Goff said that Macs can read PC discs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means they can read DOS, not necessarily Win95. Besides, this still means that all digital cameras would have to adopt the Win95 file format, wouldn't it? Somehow, I have a feeling that a lot of these companies are unwilling to give up their own proprietary file formats. And, as a Mac owner, I know that it will spit out discs automatically it cannot understand. Even with potential no.hand software running, the Mac OS determines the format of an inserted disc before you can access the adaptor software.
