that 90% to 95% of your total traffic is using IE while viewing your website, that doesn't provide for a very compelling reason to spend the time and resources it takes to make the experience just as good for the other 5%...and for the record, I refuse to design for Netscape 4 anymore...because it's a POS! However, I will not release a website that doesn't provide a great user experience across the board on IE, Netscape 6+ on Windows or a Mac. I'm not concerned with the less than 1% of linux, opera, etc. users because I'm not worried about C-level corporate types coming to our companies' website on a linux box...
If you want to be in the minority...you've got to accept what comes along with that...great websites are always designed with a specific audience in mind...otherwise, they'd all look like Yahoo! and half of the websites on Geocities.
A market study was done and showed that only 10-20% of people who own a VCR actually use the recording capabilities.
And there's not a whole lot out there today in terms of HD broadcast/cable channels - I believe just the major networks, PBS, HBO, and Showtime have them and that's if you're living in a metropolitan area that offers it.
Although superior in storage space (44GB) which obviously results in a higher quality picture/sound/bitrate - history has show that tapes don't last in terms of format and physical durability.
DVDs can still be viewed and enjoyed on HDTVs (look even better if played on a progressive scan player) for many years to come - and I would hope that when higher format discs come out on the market, the players which play them will be backwards compatible with our current DVDs.
JVC is always trying to hype up the tape format (uhh see BetaMax, DCC, S-VHS) for home video/theaterphiles but they always get trumped by the disc.
Besides, DVD is still rocking my world, and I've had it since it's introduction.

What's with shatting on Swordfish last week but enjoying the "silliness" of Tomb Raider this week - I definitely felt *less* insulted while watching Swordfish...

Yeah, get over it.
