peer agreement (net): +2| on a beta auf eine Beta-Kassette Explanation: I really don't know whether these are still used in the ad industry; it is possible they are, because domestically they only lost out to the VHS system on price - their quality was very much better. Perhaps the ad boys still use them for just that reason. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2007-09-13 15:29:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- VHS and Beta systems were competing fiercely for the video-cassette market in the 1970s and 1980s. |
