I would be surprised if RCA makes anything in the US anymore. They
started moving overseas I think in the late 70's. My mother worked for
them at the picture tube plant in Lancaster, PA, and they were moving
things away from there back in the late 70's.

Sony+Mexico. No problem. Gents, the post was about American companies
refusing to make a better mousetrap. They know we want a better mousetrap,
they know we'll pay for a better mousetrap, they just are too lazy to MAKE a
better mousetrap.

Did you ever get that chain-email about not buying Exxon-Mobil gas? After
all their itemized expenses, they made 21.5 billion dollars. *After*
expenses. If they sunk 1/100 of that into what I've asked for, they would
have no issue at all meeting my simple demands. Plus, like any publicly held
corporation in a capitalistic society, turn it into a profit generating
business unit.

Now I did catch one company making an HDTV camcorder, it's about 3k, and
it's magnetic tape. I'm sure the quality is there, but isn't that just plain
dumb? Why do I want to fast forward and rewind when I can get instant access
to a DVD? Plus less moving parts meaning longer life and cheaper
manufacturing costs.

As for the "VCR" of the future. Cripes, someone is going to do it
eventually. It is inevitable.
