Speaking of Sony, saw an article in the paper last week that Sony isn't making a profit on their electronics anymore, and might sell that division off. If Mitsubishi buys them, I hope they don't call the new operation "Son-of-abitchi"... (Running, ducking for cover...)

I can remember when Sony was the hot-stuff with the trinitron line. It took a few years, but the other manufacturers finally caught up with them.

Sony did the same thing with SDDS digital movie theatre sound systems. They weren't making the monster profits they thought they should, so they dropped the system flat, leaving owners of the SDDS systems to fend for themselves.

Right now, Sony is building the digital theatre systems that is helping to wipe out 35mm film in theatres. The first generation digital projectors are already out of date, and don't like updates. I'm sure Sony will drop them flat, too, one day.
