For those who don't keep up with John C. Dvorak's Cranky Geeks show, I uploaded some interesting discussions from the show concerning the last days of the high-def format war.

It's not supposed to inform anyone of anything. I just figured most folks around here didn't watch Cranky Geeks and might be interested in these discussions on the "war".

Just thought the links might be interesting...nothing more, nothing less.

Jeez.

:rolleyes:

I kinda liked hearing what these pundits take was on this. Didn't know this discussion show was available. Even though some of the facts were wrong. Worth checking out in the future.

Funny they thought the war still would go on for much longer and most people around here knew more than they did.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the tip. :rolleyes:


(Look, I know that it's over. I'm not trying to state otherwise. I have no agenda. I was just passing along some commentary that I recently came across and found to be interesting. I thought maybe others might as well. That's it.)
