The improvements will result from signal-processing technology borrowed from the broadcast industry, says David Lachenbruch, editorial director of Television Digest.." Does anyone know anything specific about this? It couldn't be refering to Super Beta (which has already been introduced and is not confined to higher price units). It must be refering either to the Super VHS development rumored a while back, or perhaps some 8mm developments. ****** There is also another quote from Lachenbruch in the article: "..manufacturers are expending tremendous amounts of effort to make VCRs simpler to operate in terms of programming the machines to record unattended." I also wonder whats coming here. Perhaps a smarter version of the on screen programming feature some VCRs have now?? ******* The bulk of the article is really about the price war especially at the bottom end of the VCR line. -- Ken Mandelberg Emory University Dept of Math and CS Atlanta, Ga 30322 {akgua,sb1,gatech,decvax}!emory!km USENET km@emory CSNET km.emory@csnet-relay ARPANET
