I just had an idea, what if we pressed all the tapes on CD's, as in
volume they are cheaper, then Mr Ting would have something more to
sell at say $5-10 pluss shipping. If you get the right people to
press them then it should be less than a doller a CD. The only
problem is finding a cheap setup to convert the system over to CD
video or preferably the new Wavelet system that should get 3 to 4
times more on a CD and can decompress in software. Drivers could be
included for IBM and Apple etc. Is anybody out there experienced
with this sort of thing?

Sorry to see the death of your almost live video image though the
