No. I can see how technology may take a while to reach a backwater town like Pittsburg, but here in Los Angeles, 60% of the songs on the radio station I listen to are on DAT, and the first DAT only store selling players and tapes has already opened. I don't mean it's gonna replace vinyl and cd's in six months, but I expect that withinn two years very significant inroads will have been made. -- Keep out of the reach of children richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
