I still have a laser disc and several movies that are worth $150+ each because they have never been released on DVD. I think the only *real* reason that HD-DVD and BluRay are being pushed is because they are more of an obstacle to people who want to copy them. But as we all know, better mousetraps are always quickly followed by smarter mice. I think I would much rather talk about bellybutton lint than IBOC! Mike

They said that about the Edsel, Beta-max, the laser-disc, 8-track tape and a myriad of other useless crap. The big push is on now for the cash starved media companies to convince the buying public to turf their DVD collection in favor of a Blue-Ray or HD-DVD collection -- to literally replace everything... poor millionaire DVD moguls... I feel for them, I really do. I think we should start an web-based IBOC-HD Dead pool... get a whack of cash in the kitty and see who can guess to the month when IBOC-AM breathes its last pitiful gasp of hash.
