I have been watching the video industry closely for several months and have
finally decided to check out purchasing a beta-hi-fi unit instead of a tape
deck for my stereo.  I currently do not have a TV set at all because I got
fed up with the tyranny of commercials and programming times.  It seems to
me that my best bet would be to get a Beta-hi-fi unit and a 19" monitor
with RBG and VIDEO in so that I can eventually use it as a computer monitor
as well.  Currently I have been interested in Sony units since I have heard
nothing but praise for them; unfortunately they are very hard to find in
Northern Colorado.  Does anyone have any suggestions since I'm on a limited 
budget (<$1700) and I can't justify this expense unless I get multiple use
out of each of the components.
