Hello, Charles,
Yes, but, just as 5.25-inch disks died out and 3.5-inch disks are very slowly
dying out, I know CDs will eventually do the same thing. That is why I felt
somewhat compelled to mention the DVD ahead of time! Do you, Charles,
understand the point? I know some people are panicked by that. I am not.
Smile.
Like I said before, yes, you ought to discuss it with Mike soon. Grin.
Thank you.
Todd
