Excellent posts Gus and Randy and Ed. Just a couple minor late night comments. First Gus' telling point about AXC's video expertise. This commentary about the no longer manufactured DCT from a link comparing pro formats. <<-lowest picture distortion -fastest linear editing transport -longest reord time -longest tape life, lowest multipass degradation -real digital audio in jog -1$ /Hr operating cost >> The link ... pacificnet.net Also, Ed, from one of your posts ... <<Were we left just with occasional shareholder letters or management discussion I would say that there was very little hope. Another purveyor of back end technology and equipment who would be ever so subject to the deals made on the "front end" by business and government agencies. Eventually, probably cut out of the market entirely as soon as there was a shift toward using a different underlying technology obsoleting whatever it had to offer.>> I did acquire one distinct impression from a few conversations with Karen, and that was that AXC was most definitely not basing their very long range plans around the DST. In fact I believe they think tape will be replaced by something unspecified - perhaps hybrid optical magnetic in time ( a long time). Well, nursing my concerns...cherishing my hopes ...I'll wait. Happy New Year to all.
