1" C Format ruled until the arrival of Beta SP and MII.

So, you used 2" until the other formats were availible?

Which part of 1" C format don't you understand?


What don't you understand? 2" predated all of the other formats.

Perhaps it's a language thing. Look it up if you don't understand
'ruled'.

"And Usenet isn't far behind."

Internet television is the new frontier Mike. My new Samsung
is internet connected and I suspect that is the new trend. And not just a
trend but a developing standard.


Hulu.com, and a TV tuner card in one computer already. I've watched
a few episodes of Stargate Universe and Stargate Atlantis on Hulu, along
with a few old movies. I am modifying a ceiling mount swing arm to bolt
it to my hospital bed. that way I can do web design or access usenet
when I am forced to lay down to relieve the swelling in my legs. I
bought a 7" HDTV recently to add to the monitor & keyboard arm. I
bought this Dell Optiplex 620 small footprint to use with a 24" LCD
monitor. The whole system will swing away from the bed when I'm not
using it. I got the industrial mount for free. The cheapest one made
for a hospital bed that would do was almost $2,000. I can do a lot of
cutting & welding for that price, including a telephone mount, and
controls to open the gates or look at the security cameras to see who is
at the door when I can't get up in time to anwser in person.

with four of the extra 19" LCD monitors, but it would be too big to move
away from the bed while laying down. ;-)
