1. $$!

2. You don't need it to sync with a laserdisk or video camera or to do
   output only.  Why be forced to buy something if you don't need it?
   Not everybody needs tape input (nice to have though).

On the other hand, it would be intelligent for a VAR to sell a
package:

Accellerated A2000 + hard drive
2 monitors
double-deck video tape system
time base correcter
toaster
lots o' training & support

(Almost) everything you need in one nifty package!  Only $,$$$.cc,
instead of the $$,$$$.cc or even $$$,$$$.cc you'd expect!  Just call
VideoNow at 1-900-RTFM and we'll set you up at your place or mine-er,
ours!

Actually, it would be nice if NewTek bundled a TBC as an option.
'Course, they'd have to find an OEM, and deal with that hassle & all.
Maybe later.
