Which most folks haven't. They're waiting for the price to come down to
a reasonable level so around the year 2000 they can run out and buy
cheap Digital Screens. Anyone who's purchasing one now is simply paying
out the R&D dollars to the major outfits. And since I want good picture,
I don't want to buy the present "projector style" screen.

GITS advantage is that it is a cohesive, self-contained story. The
upcoming AMS movie, otoh, requires an advanced knowledge of the AMS
backstory. SO....., it might be in AIC's interest to weave the 5 ova's
together into a cohesive single story that tells the tale of the arrival
and hijinks of the three megami. Lots of editing required, however. It
would give the general moviegoing public the bacstory to the upcoming
film.

Be Seeing You,
