>>>VCR's are gone, the same way the 8 track tapes went. DVD's on a chip are in.

That's why I can't see why the tech sector craps on itself over lower box margins when unit count is key now. I use to buy boxes in the early 80's for 10 years of my wages, then in mid 80's for a years wages, then early 90's for 6 months wages. then mid 90's for a months pay, now profits off a good day trading INTERNUTs...or pocket change. There ain't no margin in Box.

Same step of VCRS. Those peckerwood box makers got to consolidate further...ie Curtis Mathis...Quasiar.

hey, easy on the 8 tracks. Still got a working one in the basement. Got lots of vinyl too.

But hell, I ain't buying them any more.

I guess CheckFree is a Laser disc? Got some of those too. But I think their all Disney<g>
