	You can blame Magnavox for this.  Sony established Beta with the
Betamax.  Then this idiot company called Magnavox comes along and creates a
new, inferior standard.  The market is split, and we all suffer.

	Pioneer comes out with a videodisk standard.  Then this idiot
company called Magnavox comes along and creates a totally different,
probably inferior, definitely less-controllable, standard.  The market is
split, and we all suffer.  Fortunately, Magnavox ate it big with this one.

	By the way, why is this in comp.sys.amiga?  We don't have video wars
here, we have Amiga/Apple/Atari/Timex wars here.  Let us know if Atari comes
out with a VCR; we'll talk..... :-)
