Tom, I'm a little confused about SoftwareXA. You said to Matt that "Its function is to convert XA steams to run on PhotoCD ready MPC computers and upgrade kits. What confuses me — and frankly that isn't a difficult feat — is that I thought XA was a Kodak requirement for PCD, and that a PCD ready computer would be able to handle XA on its own. Could you explain a little more simply for me, please. I'd appreciate it and I suspect others would be interested as well. XA is such a (relatively) new thing to most of us that any info is welcome. Thanks.
