!	Sony is not the last.
!	Sony has thrown no towel in. Sony doesn't even make this VCR, Sony just
!buys it OEM like the 4 (or whatever) manufactures that sell VHS to the world.
!	There is no American mafacturer of ANY VCR format.
!	Japan controls what you eat. What you drive. WHAT YOU SEE!
!	It's an ironic form of payback for nuking them.
!	Now they control us.
!	Soon, they will dominate our electronic industry, and our computer
!industry, like they dominate our car industry.
!	By all means, buy in to it.
!	And you think that's good? 
!	You are a complete JERK.
!	Why don't you go to Siberia and let us all go to hell in a hand basket 
!without you.
!! Sayonara, Beta-san.
!	It's amazing what comes out of the closet.
!	47 people have posted more complete and unbiased crap than you have.
!	Blow away.
!	Don't forget, that we wouldn't even have VHS HIFI, HQ(barf) or S-VHS
!without Sony to kick around or to compete with.
!	At least we (thats US in the USA) have good old VHS standard crap to
!haunt us for a long time. 
!	Were screwed. Thanks for making that happen.
!	Wonderful.
!	America gets screwed by the Japenesse, and Americans are too stupid
!to know it's happening. Much less know how they are being manipulated by
!VIDEO brainwash input. Not unlike the techniques used by the proganda minister
!for Hitler on the german population during WWII.
!
!	I wanna be a VIDIOT too!
!	Then somebody wakes up to the fact we have this oddly huge trade
!deficit and the dollar is going to shit.
!	And the dollar goes to shit, but we still have a huge trade deficit.
!	Something is wrong here folks! I hope you own your house!
!	Thanks a lot.
