I believe both formats will be around until Roy L. Fuchs washes his
filthy mouth out with SOAP. I have no idea how the market mix of studio
support, PC backup blank-disc or novelty yard-sale items will wash out.
If HD-DVD comes on strong, Sony's Blu-Ray could become the "Apple
Computer" of DVD playback. Snob appeal, high prices and "I'm too sexy
for my shirt" image. It's anyone's guess.
