[Boatanchors] H.R. 7157

[Revcom]

Roscoe,

My intent was not a factual warning, as it is only being introduced.

I was only infering that we are in a "digital crazy" market being driven
by powerful dollar interests.  Car manufacturers are the ones that will 
impacted
the greatest.

However the same thing occured with the digital TV broadcasts, and look what
a mess that has made of things in confusing the consumer.

Ah, radios that glow will still prevail.
