Summary: Predicting the Future


	Do people on the net think that Beta will last?  Or is
Sony going to eventually cave in and adopt VHS?  I am thinking about
buying a VCR.  Anytime I have seen a market like this, everyone
eventually adopts one format( e.g. IBM).  But there are incentives to 
buy Beta.  If I go with Sony will I be left hanging in a couple of years?
