You must be absolutely right because you sound logical. 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
