I wanted to watch a film the other but there were no video shops nearby. Nor would I have wanted to go them because they now seem really quite expensive. The future is of course digtial distribution. But that is far reaching maturity yet.<br /><br />A bit like being able to record things off the tele. Very few people I know have replaced there VCR with something can record with. Yet no one has a VCR. So in that respect we have taken a step back.<br /><br />The sooner everything can be done digitally the better. Or not. Because looking at the attempts of DD they don't seem to bother with the more esoteric stuff. So again a step forwards and a step back.BrockleyBikernoreply@blogger.com
