	I wish to start a new topic for discussion on this news group.

	That topic is this:

	Before the advent of video machines (VHS, Beta, CED, LV, etc.)
there were two types of people that listened to music.  These people
were either people who listened to music, or they were audiophiles.  Now
there are people that have video machines for the purpose of watching
movies and other things at home.  Some of these people just like to watch
movies without the hassles that they get in theaters, or they time-shift
regular television programs, or various other reasons.  (Some people copy
movies, but that is not the topic for this discussion.)  Other people must
consider themselves VIDEOPHILES.

	My contension is this:

	You cannot be a videophile with either VHS or Beta tape machines.
And CED is just marginal.  In order to consider yourself a TRUE Videophile,
you MUST have a Laser Disc Player.


	And Comments?????????????????????????
