Since I've been reading and occasionally commenting on this thread for what seems like an eternity, and I have found both Jock and Shane's posts thought provoking in the past, I'd like to suggest that they both go to neutral corners, take a deep breath, and pretend that the last few posts never happened. After not having Shane around for a large chunk of this year, I'd hate for him to get fed up and leave, and Jock's first response got a bit personal. I've got to think that Shane's reply to it was understandably made in anger... What else can you be when someone says you're "...utterly irresponsible and demonstrate an utter lack of knowledge of LSI's basic business structure?" In the words of an American who has some experience in riots... "Can't we all just get along???" DWB

Another quits Divx Divx, the digital movie disc system developed by Circuit City Stores Inc., is losing yet another retailer. DOW Stereo/Video Inc., a nine-store chain based in San Diego known in the industry for launching new technology, is being sold to Tweeter Home Entertainment Group Inc. The deal should be completed July 1. Tweeter has told DOW Stereo/Video that it will not sell Divx after the purchase is completed. In fact, Tweeter wants any Divx inventory to be gone by the acquisition date. Divx discs are being returned this week to the manufacturer, and DOW Stereo/Video is holding a major promotion to sell remaining Divx players, said Tom Campbell, a corporate director at DOW Stereo/Video. The chain began carrying Divx products in November. Future Shops Inc., a 23-store chain in four Northwestern states, stopped selling Divx products when it closed all of its U.S. operations in April. The departures of the two retailers leave Divx with slightly more than 700 stores. Circuit City, with its 585 stores, has by far the largest number of locations. So sad, snif, snif.<g> More Divx road-kill from DVD. Makes one wonder how long Circuit City can absorb whooping losses and stay in business.<g> o~~~ O
