Subj: HOT for 2003

Whoever is brave enough to combine a PC, CD, DVD and TV together with a
300W+ 5 channel amp and sub should be a winner.

The Linux guys will hate it, but, Windows Media Player is so far ahead of
any CD player and XP is getting so user friendly.

I see the winner being Microsoft and taking over where "old firms" like
Sony, Panasonic, Philips are now.

Let's face it - How many out there listen to and watch more music on
their PC now than their stereo?

Really, a $3000 laptop with DVD plugged through an amp and hooked to a big
screen is the ultimate at the moment, but combined with your TIVO deal
it's even better.

Subj: Digital Sources come of Age

Enjoying the digital video exploration. Commercial systems
have been around for more than 10 years now and I suspect
that we are now getting the volumes that make sense for
price slips now.

Good to see the video series. Have you noticed that the
music companies seem to have finally got the penny drop on
all that video music archive around. I have just been
enjoying my 30 song, + interviews from Jools Holland Later
live music Tv series and thoughly recommend DVD as "the"
music format. for my $30-$37 ave I got 170mins of songs
(nearly 7GB of data)

Ideally what we want is a rich experience and I often play
music dvds' on audio only. More and more music companies
are offering DVD extras and good to finally see some of
the better compilations becoming available.  I've thought
about transferring the best bits of my 400+ audio CDS to
an IPOD but not convinced that the file formats are as
good as what I have at present and I still like the extra
info - but once I can get IPOD in the car at a reasonable
price I will revisit that one.
