Salut Thom,
 JK>>>> So what? A 120-meter DAT tape in longplay-mode can record up to 8 
hours
 JK>>>> of non-stop-music. With the new Tascam double DAT recorder, you can
 JK>>>> expand that to 16 hours on two tapes sequentially.
 TK>>> Yes....but what about the costs ?
 JK>> Yes, what about them? The tapes are cheaper.
 TK> Over here the VCR-tapes are much cheaper than DAT-tapes....A VCR-tape is 
about
 TK> F 12,- and a DAT-tape about F 25,- the same about VCR versus 
DAT-recorder.....a
 TK> DAT recorder costs about F 1200,- and a VCR about
 TK> F 400,- and that's a remarkable difference
Well, over here the DAT-tapes are cheaper.
For the recorders, you are right, but I bet you can't get a hi-end HIFI VCR 
for F 400,- ...
BTW: What's the exchange rate guilders/belgian francs?
bye ....
         Joe
