Sony is a good company with solid products, but their track record on
innovations sucks. They brought us, among others, Beta videocassettes,
MD (MiniDisc) cartridges, and Memory Sticks. I'm not the only person who
saw that Sony was behind the Blu Ray format and consequently decided to
bet on HD DVD. :-)
