Yeah, I have always assumed that it's okay to talk about non-IVD multi-
media type stuff here... I don't know how much trouble it would be to
rename the group, but I suspect that broadening it to comp.multimedia
would cause posting traffic to pick up at least a little. I'm for it.

By the way, I've gotten several email replies to my re-posting the article
from comp.sys.mac.hardware about the NEC Cowboy (very high speed VHS player)--
all saying, more or less, "Do you know anything about it?"  No, I don't.
Doesn't anyone who reads this group have one? :-)
