Patrick: >I'm raving—sorry. I'd love to expound further in your magazine.< S'allright–obviously, you're looking towards the future! 🙂 >They have been resolved with JPEG systems in the $30-50K range. Still too high for a majority of 'consumers' but dropping each month and 1/500th of what an equivalent analog suite cost 20 years ago.< While I'll agree, readily, that the new computer suites are INFINITELY less expensive than analog edit suites used to be, that still leaves something of a gap for the video consumer/prosumer (like *moi*). OTOH, as you say, they ARE dropping significantly in price every time we turn around, so if I hang in for another year or so, I think I'll be looking at consumer-affordable nonlinear equipment… Best, Tim
