>> So, you are claiming that "the industry" knew in 1980 that a better optical format would come along in 1998, so they deliberately withheld support for Laserdisc, and allowed tape-based media to rule the market for 18+ years while waiting? That's...surreal. <<
That's surreal? Then what do you think happened during those years? We know Laserdisc did not have wide support. We know DVD killed it once and for all. That's not surreal. It's real. No one had a crystal ball, but obviously the concept that LaserDisc was a costly, cumbersome, clunky technology that would be supplanted by a more elegant technology was seized upon by many CE manufacturers and home video execs.
>> Jazz, what color is the sky in your world? <<
Blue.
