Have you never copied a record onto a cassette? Are you therebye a pirate? Millions of people don't think that they are when they do so for their own use and, most often, own the record they are copying. This probably more than any other single thing, built the cassette industry. It might also do the same for a digital cassette industry. I admit the necessity of doing so is much attenuated, but then, it never was necessary with vinyl. I think a more valid concern is the added expense in going from tape to CD. I don't know. Given the choice would I go for a digital cassette or the presently available VCR digital recording. Neither is splice- editable. The VCR is somewhat larger and more ungainly, but it can record for hours and hours without interruption. Both are presumably copyable. Is the industry cooking up another 8mm disaster? Is 8mm a disaster? Was the Edsel? -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
