Pumps' Perplexities

This blog has mentioned, 78 records, LP records, 8 Tracks,
Cassettes and finally CDs.....These are all changes in audio
technology......Now there is about to be another change in
visual technology......

In the early days of TV CBS had one format and NBC had
another.....NBC won......In the early days of visual recording
there was Beta vs VHS......We all know that VHS won......
Now we are in the digital age and VHS has been replaced by
DVD......

Sorry to tell you, folks, DVD is going to change also......Toshiba
Co. of Japan has a HD DVD format which is competing with
Panasonic/Sony's Blu-ray format......

One of them will win the market and the new 'format' will be
universal to the general public......Question, will all those DVDs
that you have been buying to replace the VHS tapes work on
either of these new formats?........To complicate matters, the major
motion picture companies are divided as to which format to
support.....It should be another mess that will cost the
consumer more money.....
