Right now, according to industry estimates, 350,000 people each day want to watch entire movies on their PCs. But, actually, I think the technology may allow you to transfer the movies from your PC to a videotape, so you can watch it on a regular television. Once you get the movie onto your hard drive, you can do all sorts of things with it.

Remember, the film and television industries transfers stuff from PCs to film and videotape all the time. It's just a matter of economics. The less expensive the equipment becomes, the more people who can afford to buy it, and the more people who buy it, the less expensive it becomes.
