That must explain why Sony invented Hi-Fi a year and a half (market time) before the VHS'rs. Also Beta Movie, Cassette changers, etc., etc. Yes in deed, I always wondered how they could do that so consistently. I used to think it was because some few firms (silly and deluded) had their eye fixed on technology rather than maximizing the current bottom line. The latter view (current bottom line uber alles) is what has killed industry in this country. It seems to have afflicted the behemoths of VHS. Dick Grantges hound!rfg
