DEAR GOD MAN!!
Do you realize what you're saying!
If VCR designers switched to a 24 clock the electronics industry would
rumble to a halt!
Statistics show (no kidding) that 85% of all VCR owners cannot set the
clock.
If they switch to a 24 hour system, that number would most likely GO UP!
After working the Christmas season selling reatil electronics I can assure
you that the LAST thing this world needs is a NEW clock system on VCR's!
:-)
BTW, to stay SR related, we ARE currently acheiving the digital media
revolution in the consumer elcetronics field.
Pocket sized digital camcorders, ala. Shadowbeat are a REALITY!
JVC just released a consumer model digi-cam that weighs less than two
pounds, fits easily in a shirt pocket, and just clocks in at a reasonable
$2500 price tag.
With HDTV and DVD on the horizon, we may soon be living with some of the
high tech gear that even five years ago was sceince fiction to the mass
market.
