Over the last few years, I'll have to admit that I took may shots at Bramson for failing to define and execute a vision. In hindsight, it appears that he had a defined vision however it just took a very long time to germinate. If he is able to pull all of this off, I'll be the first in-line to apologize to him. The beauty of his vision, as the II article pointed out, is that Ed realized, as many on this thread had stated, that there was no mass market for his killer DSTs. No problem, he's now gone out and created & BOUGHT his own market for his hardware. *The beauty of vertical integration:-)* Sal PS - Did anyone catch NBR last night? I was out and did not see if we hit their radar screen again. Thanks

I think that could be a distinct possibility. I have read of a company that has made a digital VCR that stored the taped show on a hard disk and even allowed for watching of the recorded program from the beginning even while the later portion of the program was still being recorded. This was accomplished through buffering. The problem was there was no portability that a tape could offer. How about becoming a Blockbuster or the like on the Web. Large data storage machines at ISP to store movies, music, programs, to be rented; broadband delivery; to device in home capable of storing data and some fancy software that would "return" movie or whatnot by automatically deleteing data. No lines, no out of stock, no late charges! I do apologize for not having name of company who made that VCR. Please take this with a grain of salt I do not make any claim to know any inside information.
