Michael, I'd rather buy an '040 accelerator than a PAR; it would give me much, much more bang for the buck. One thing I like about recordable optical discs is their archival ability: every bit of experimental crap I've ever produced is on the disc, ready to be played to long-suffering friends. <g> Oh, and I'd never dream about carrying my optical disc recorder around. It weighs a ton, and I got it for $15,000 off <bg> so I consider an irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind unit. Heck, repairs on that industrial behemoth would probably cost more than a PAR. And I wouldn't have the archival capability. The many replies I've received, here, and in CEVideo, have got me convinced. My next purchase will not be an accelerator as I'd thought, but a S-VHS VCR. Blaq!
