Not that they weren't managed and marketed poorly, but how did they die, and, why are they still here?

I think they lacked software and required us all to buy new hardware, and plenty of cables to do it.... Mainstream America bought a new iPod instead!

kenny, your right. But also, mainstream America was not made fully aware of those formats. Most of the time, by the time mainstream America finds out, what the next advancement in auio and video are from the high end community, whatever it is, has been out for a while. Then, there is very little information given to them.
Worse yet, there is very little education given either. And when there is, for some reason, its met or done with much confusion.

So, something must be done to change this. When that happens, then maybe we can have greater acceptance to new formats, products, whatever. Think about it, before you sell something, you get trained, get info, literature, samples, etc. Its time to show some excitement and enthusuaism to the mainstream, then they will be as excited as we are.

Is that so hard, for those of us with all this passion for music and sound??!! I don`t think so.

I got both sets of these Genesis discs. They sound good-I got them on DVD-A. But I'm easy to please too.

I just saw that there is a NEW boxed set of Genesis discs out now. It looks like the discs from early Genesis-day one! These are the albums with Peter Gabriel as the lead singer.

When you choose to watch older films online, many of them are now in the public domain as the copyright has lapsed, while when you watch movies online that have just been released they are licensed and sometimes include short advertisements at the beginning, which is a small price to pay to watch free movies. But to sum up it is totally legal to watch free films featured
