Not sure if this has been brought up, but when you read the comments on that blind( 1'rst from bottom?), they are all arguing on the inception of the DVD being a basis for the timeline. Maybe the ghost writer was a little drunksy wunksy and meant LaserDisc - Wikipedia. I remember them, and they were the technology that eventually made VCH obsolete. To give those machines away would cost a wasted fortune in those days, but would not only be affordable to Hollywood, but might have been gifted by MCA DiscoVision in the United States in 1978. One might say she died 10 years later than that, but it would still be inconsequential to the investigation because we do not have a timeline for the blind. Asia was still renting those things while the USA was quietly switching to DVD. Up to 2002 is the real timeline for the foggy blind, in my opinion. Scumbags gave the kids free candy and outdated electronic devices in boxes.

That stuff about laser disc is very interesting. They could be “proto DVDs”.

I agree Hollywood could easily arrange to requisition some of that stuff.

If the requsistion theory is correct, then I’d place the timeline at the early 90’s. If not, then 2002 is likey.

No, they would have owned warehouses of those things set to go to Yokahama. They would also have gotten a hold of the next technology! That would explain the further use in Asia and the quick switch to DVD. Funny thing is, that the blue ray was actually better technology than the next step at the time. Proto DVD's? What part of play a movie on a shiny spinny thing do you think is different? Size?

Either way, the main point of showing the blind is more about the commentary regarding Columbus, which was certainly eye opening.

That is why you are on track, and I am on time. As always, good work DK.
