Message-ID: <5961@uwm.edu> Date: 27 Aug 90 13:20:32 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Lines: 12 Approved: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Assuming the recording industry is not able to block foreign manufacturers... If the Japanese are allowed to flood the US market with DAT decks as they did with so many other components, then industry experts expect the decks to plummet in price, much the same as did VCRs. Take note, VCRs started several years ago at approximately $1000 and now can be had for under $200. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: erich@inmet.inmet.com UUCP: uunet!inmet!erich
