You're an idiot. I worked in the industry during both product
releases.

>CED, which you said was never released,

In the US, it had virtually no sales, no market, and a practically
nil release.

>Laserdisc when RCA pulled the plug.

Bullshit. It came out before the Laser Disc, and RCA killed it
BECAUSE of the Laser Disc. So the only "lead" it ever had was due to
the fact that LD was released later, and by the time it started
picking up, CED was killed. And it was killed because LD beat it
hands down.

> When the public heard that CED had

You're an idiot. Laser Disc had a specific market following. That
following never waivered.

Bullshit. Laser Disc only had competition with the VHS realm, and
the idiots that HAD to have record capability.

You're a goddamned idiot.

You NOT knowing what you are talking about makes this thread even
funnier than it was in the beginning.

Then you should probably stop doing it.

>I fully expect another rude and useless response.

You ARE a rude and useless response.

> Please don't disappoint.

Please fuck off and die.
