Welcome back, Jubimer, and Happy New Year! Excellent sites. My best guess (also very much a guess) is that we all may be somewhat disappointed in terms of announcements or products or alliances in the medium term..... though I am sure AXC will venture to the web in some way or another one of these years. To me, that doesn't necessarily mean there is no value here. They may actually have the cards in hand for a decent year. Firming DCR sales would of course do the most for profits. A rebirth of MicroNet sales offer the best chance for revenue growth. If AXC were to simply finally show some growth by the latter half of '99 - well throw in an acquisition and perhaps a dash of web promise and something north of 3 is certainly easily attainable. But if perceived inaction and falling revenues remain the backdrop to the stock? Another matter altogether. Therein the risk. Place your bets folks. May we all know close to the best time to hold em....best time to fold em.

shades of sony? [ recalling your post re: cameras ] from the digital entertainment section: Video. Expect the wide-scale introduction of digital VHS this year. Two flavors, one for HD format and a less-expensive standard definition version, will be available. HD decks should arrive at under $1,000, with SD decks in the $500 range. DVD should settle in as the major movie format, because of Blockbusters aggressive rental program, as well as the slide of entry-level product through the magic threshold of $299 seen in late 1998. Add-on features, such as DTV tuners and the emerging DVD-Audio standard, should provide price boosts at the upper ends of product lineups. At least two vendors plan to show prototype recordable DVD-based camcorders at CES. The analog camcorder begins its march toward oblivion this year, as digital camcorders, which crashed through the $1,000 price barrier last year, push further down into camcorder lines. By the end of 1999, almost all high-end consumer models will be digital, with some of these digital models creeping down toward the $600 price mark. CES will also showcase the chip engines that drive current and future video products. nDSP Corp., teamed with audio processor manufacturer MedianiX, will be show a non-linear digital signal processor, the nD3200, designed to improve a displays performance handling analog or digital TV programming, as well as VGA input. VM Labs will demonstrate its NUON technology for transforming digital video products such as DVD players, digital satellite receivers and digital set-top boxes into interactive multimedia centers for gaming and interactive software applications. Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector*s Consumer Systems Group will be showing how the NUON media processor works a PowerPC CPU to support its BlackBird Interactive MultiMedia Development Platform. Motorola envisions a Home Media Platform that would support video phones, internet phones, DVD Video and Data, Home theater, Web access and broadband video networking.

a sign of the future for home tv viewing.. . "significant" investment just disclosed in Replay TV... by vulcan ventures [ paul allen]. "ReplayTV was also honored today as "Best of Show" in video at the 1999 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nev. With the free Replay Network Service and ReplayTV's digital-recording device, viewers can easily create personalized, on-demand "Replay Channels." These channels can feature viewers' favorite shows, themes or actors so they can watch what they want, when they want. Viewers can create, for example, "ER," "action-adventure films," "golf" or "Tom Cruise" channels. Replay channels are easily set up by navigating the TV programming information from the Replay Network Service and then selecting the show with the ReplayTV remote control. "
