Well, I maintain my firm belief that all these new formats for TV, radio and
recorded content of ANY sort are primarily about creating new "cash cows"
by requiring many millions of viewers/listeners/wotaveya to go out and buy
NEW (and expensive) machinery to replace perfectly good...but now useless
and obsolete...machinery they already own!

Wait until the "media police" discover that I have around 54,000 analog
SHELLAC sound recordings...?!

FEH!!

analog TV the size of Ohio...?!)
