What came was 6 hour VHS tape, vs. 4.5 hour beta. That mattered to consumers, but not to pros, who still use Beta (or at least until DV).

That was the initial knife in the heart for the format (even though Sony stood by the notion that Americans would want a better picture not longer recording - ha) but my response was to your "less easily adopted techonology" comment. VHS Hi-Fi was not supposed to be possible. And, at the time, it wasn't. That's why VHS was MTS for so long and not Hi-Fi.

The iPod is the best one out there. As for capacity, I'd look at how much music you have. If you have more than the capacity, you'll need to shuffle playlists. If you have so much music that you'd need the biggest ipod ever then it really doesn't matter. I have a 15gb, which isn't big enough for all my music. But honestly it doesn't matter, because I don't really need to shuffle through all 4000 songs. Instead, I create playlists, which are a much better way of using things. Then, I can alter the playlists when I sync. Not a huge hassle. Small one, but not huge.

As for accessories, it depends on which accessories you're talking about. If the car adaptor is a cassette from the audio out, or an FM adaptor, they work with all of them. In fact, you don't need an apple branded thing to use that. As for others, like the dock, I don't know, but I suspect they may be different.

The speakers/docking thingy that we have works with both the iPod and the iPod mini. I use the mini and it is just about the right size to hold everything I might want to listen to. Of course our music library on the computer is far larger than that. I'm a creature of habit, I'm afraid.

CTF: HEY!

Read the fine print. We reserve the right to refuse admission.

OK, the build out we've been doing on the house is now complete and we're adding the final touches. So we need to go from a one computer stuck in the spare bedroom to a multiple computers in studies for each of Greedy, Greeda and the Greedettes. First time home networking.

Do I hang terminals off the current CPU (two computers will be on 2nd floor, 2 in basement for kids) by hard wire, set up a hardwired network with separate CPUs, or set up a wireless network? My current CPU has a lot of computing power, and all computers will get used for stuff like photo and video editing/playing.

Oh, and you're my favorite favorite.

wireless network. if you can deal with the hassle of getting it set up properly, it is really quite cool. of course, I'm not the one setting it up properly, so no advice beyond that. (except for the advice that you might want to wait until your kids are out with their friends to set it up if you are a swear-when-stupid-electronic-things-don't-work-right kind of a person. I know one of those.)
