<my original doom and gloom message quoting another doom and gloom message snipped>Richard, Just wanted to make sure that you know that Otari is still committed to the analog market, as you and I have spoken about our Digital Archive System that uses our MTR-15 transport with an Analog-to-Digital converter unit. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that because Studer is exiting the tape recorder business (per the previous posting) that there are no alternatives left. Quite the contrary! Best Regards, John Spencer Otari Corp.
