Almost right, just different designers who didn't talk to each other....
Just like you said... perhaps on purpose so that we can't see each others
propaganda.. ;-)
But today you can buy many multi system machines, my video can play all
three systems, and that's
a cheap Technics video... but can convert during recording.....and that a
pity!
Never the less we will find a solution, I have a friend who can record DVD's
so we'll see.
I'm very happy today also the second bats of seedlings showed the heads
today, had to do some more...
11 varieties wasn't enough for me for this year....having said that, my wife
doesn't agree to that....
Hot regards and enjoy the weekend,
