If you want a VCR in the $99 price range, wait till next year.
The market is supposed to be flooded with them by next year.
I read this in some magazine, but I can't remember where.
I asked an analog (branch of EE, opposite of digital)
friend of mine whether he
thought there was any truth to this hype, and he said
that he found it hard to believe. His credentials
are that he builds expensive hi-fi amplifiers, and he
buys a lot of electronic parts every year.

The units will be very cheap, about half today's price of comparable Japanese-made stuff. BUT, what I hear is that they are junk! I've picked up this information from talking to different people in the know and also articles in different publications, so don't try to pin me down to the exact source. H.
