There is a thing called Netiquette which does not tolerate top
posting.
======================================
ALL etiquite transforms over time.
Even the spelling of the word. Hmm Interesting. NOT!
You guys could be a bit more retarded... just not today.
The only thing that has transformed is the lazy attitudes that you
retarded twits carry around. Do you expose your asses at home or in
public places, the way you do here in Usenet?

Funny being "schooled" on usent use by you....
Please... just crawl away.

Not when the consensus prevails.
Top posters are going against the consensus.
Do a google search on a newsgroup and scroll thru the many posts you
get. Most people do not top post.

Wow... quite the claim.
Make your posts coherent.. top or bottom just doesn't matter.

If you don't know what that is, STOP posting here until you do a

Yes there is.

This thread got kinda out of control.
I still want highest quality possible. From what I understand Ipod is
a lossy format, which I hope the public will drop. And who wants to
watch anything on less than 52" screen? But you know how marketing
plays into this... Betamax was better than VHS, but look what
happened. I think this boils down too is "education" , we must help
educate the world so they don't fall into the VHS trap.
I can hardly wait for HD DVD, and willing to pay for it.
Don't buy CRAP, and they won't sell it. |

There is a lot of lossy conversion taking place. The fault of Ipod

VHS was better as it relates to price/value/performance.
The high price of Sony's crap is what caused it to fail. It is really
that simple. Price point is everything.

You're an idiot. VHS was not a trap. It was an affordable form

Had Sony set the price point right, they would have won the battle.

Prices for VHS were only about $100 less than Beta and when you
talk at $1000+ that is not a big difference. My SL7200 Beta cost
me $1495. The VHS units - then just coming on the market as Beta
had over 95% share - were at least $1295. Then the prices started
falling, but the Beta equipment was built better, and the Faroudja
circuits in the better Betas made them the choice if you wanted
great video.
However a vast majority of people didn't know what great video
looked like and used RF connections - while most of the Beta people
used composite.
I got my Beta in March of 1977.

And through the course of 'home entertainment' each new version
lasted about 1 generation - as many people didn't want to change.
That has not held true as much now - but the revolutionary products
almost always had a bigger impact than the evolutionary productcs.
The first phongraphs were accoustic and windup. In the late 1920's
electric recording and players - running at 78 RPM became popular.
And 25 years later the LP and 45 came in replacing the 78s. Those
was first introduced in 1949.
Philips made a dictating machine using a small cassette that became
the main music medium replacing the 45's and LPs - something that
4-track and 8-track never did.
By the 1980s CDs came out - and the compact size and the novlety of
shiny silver disks made them take off like nothing ever had before.
When DVD came out in about 3 years everyone saw how much better it
was to be able to skip to chapters, take something out and put it
back without rewinding, etc.
Each of those were revolutionary. The SACD was evolutionary and
never really took off. The HD and Blu-Ray are evolutionary so
there won't be the great rush among the average users to go
to those. I say that based on looking at the history of home
entertainment for the past 100 years.
If the often predicted 'movie on a chip' or 'cube' something so
small that you could carry several in your shirt pocket [for those
who have shirts with pockets] that would be revolutionary and
would gain widespread adoption.
