[rec.video] FutureVideo Update

I just got off the phone with Mr. Metzger from FutureVideo. Apparently,
the dealer from whom I purchased my PRO/PLUS unit spoke with him at a trade
show and mentioned our earlier problems with the cable. He called me up to
offer to sell me one of the cables for $35. He confirmed that the official
company policy is not to sell the cables separately, but he was willing to
waive this in my case because he understood that I wasn't out to pirate their
EDL software. So the final word appears to be that FutureVideo is willing to
be reasonable (if you talk to the right people and if you can convince them
that you're not out to rip off their software).
