entertainment and information is a thing of the distant past, now that
we've had the opportunity to taste something much better."

This month's DV also contains information on putting together a digital
video system in entry (less than $5,000), midrange, and high-end systems

URL given) and begins on page 28. For road warriors Greenberg also looks at
some laptop video systems for both presentation and digitizing.
