There is another game in town that wasn't fully established back then: Internet Porn. Yes, people who want to avoid bumping into Pee Wee Herman might embrace HD Porn to some degree (the mind boggles at what High Definition might add to the visuals ) However, I really don't think that the genre will be as important as it was the last time around because of alternatives.

In other words, it's not your father's (unwashed) Oldsmobile.



My 2 cents.</IMG></IMG>

I agree. The distribution technology has changed significantly. I knew there was a good reason you only need one hand to operate your mouse. Those crafty geeks!

You might recall that it was the adult industry that initially embraced the DVD technology of alternate angles and other DVD aspects before they were widely used in non-adult releases.

By the way, how did you know the old man drove an Olds? '56, 2 door, white w/blue trim. Huge back seat for kids to ride in. Great for trips up to the Catskills.
