It's funny to think this was all-too-typical of laserdisc fans'
predictions for DVD at the time. I still remember arguing in 1997 with
alt.video.laserdisc denizens who would claim "DVD's are too fragile to
rent" and "No way they'll stay this cheap" (this was when DVD's
*AVERAGED* $25 a disc and $15 discs were unheard of).
Of course, I've been wrong myself sometimes. I never expected HDTV's to
catch on as fast as they have. And even I was surprised how quickly and
thoroughly DVD's caught on with the general public.
