RE: Do you understand the difference between "introduction" and "demonstration?"

Posted by Jazz Inmate on August 31, 2007 at 16:44:02:
Here is what I said, my exact words:
Laserdisc's competitor was DVD, which thoroughly kicked its butt once introduced.
And the industry knew that was coming and never fully got behind laserdisc.

So what exactly is your problem with that?

Please answer the question without misrepresenting what I said as you did above: >> Everyone is simply laughing at your statement that "the industry" didn't support it because they somehow knew back when Laserdisc first hit the market that DVD was coming. <<

Tell me why YOU think the industry didn't support Laserdisc, and I'll bet it's exactly the same as mine, minus the semantic hurdles your mind can't seem to jump.
