Guys. Guys. guys.  (and also: Gals. Gals. Gals.)  haven't you all seen or at
least heard about the new video tape players like the NEC Cowboy, which can
rewind a T-120 tape in one minute, give or take a few seconds?  Now, you can
set all that stuff you wanted to put on a CD_ROM onto video tape, with motion
and everything, and stereo sound and like that!  Hook the Cowboy to your Mac,
and program a hypercard stack.  Just like the big boys, except you now also get
to be a video producer.  And You can update the tape at your convenience.  And
it is not rumor - we can even buy them in Canada!

So, go out and get one now and become a multimedia guru in your spare [pick
one] time, bedroom, life.

I work for a video production company doing various interactive videodisc
programming and, like all computer enthusiasts, I harbor a secret desire to
have the capabilities of my work machines... at home! Sooo... what's the 
scoop? Does anyone have any experience with this player?
