RE: I looked up your credentials, and they are very impressive

Posted by Ole Lund Christensen on December 7, 2007 at 13:33:42:
Dear Duilawyer,

thank you very much for the time you spent on this post. I do appreciate it.
Clearly my enthusiasm for Blu Ray and its progress in the market must have given you and others here a different impression, than I intended.
I will try to improve my posts.

I have no wish to hurt people, who have bought HD DVD movies and players,
indeed my intention is to do the same, when I can find a good deal.
The cheapest in Denmark is USD 559.80 with 5 movies.

It will not end up useless and worthless, because the movies can play for many years. (and the player plays normal DVDs) Indeed I suspect some HD DVD discs will become collectorâ€™s items and rise in value, because they will not be reissued due to low sales. Like concerts of music.

The reason I promote Blu Ray so intensely, is that I also take no joy from seeing inferior formats succeed. I want my HD sound and picture, and I believe Blu Ray is my best chance. I will not get one more chance, it is now or never.

Yes, downloads of video will improve, but the best experts in that field tell me, that it will take 7 to 10 years to extend the fast HD infrastructure to enough people. And many places will never get it.

I am 54 years old, so I want HD now! So you can see my motives are purely selfish in this case:-)

Please tell me, who is Zekyl?

Best wishes and thank you again

Ole
