Here is what I said: "...One important reason that Sony's CONSUMER Beta machines failed is that hardly any movies were distributed on them. " "Sony has scored a home run in the professional field with the Beta format. Chances are, anytime you see a pre-recorded TV show, you are watching a feed off a Beta SP tape.Expensive Beta SP machines (and now digi-Beta) are everywhere in the professional world, and the profit margins on these machines are obscene." Notice the highlighted word "CONSUMER" in the first sentence. In the second, I state very clearly the distinctions between the consumer and professional realms all throughout my post. And then you state I am trying to purposely "mislead" people here, thereby making me out to be dishonest. Anyone who can't comprehend my Beta post, and its careful separation of consumer and professional Beta formats must be a moron. I guess you qualify.
