Hey Ron,

Whether Betamax won or lost the dominant video format war is really
quite orthogonal to whether it was better or not.  I don't honestly know
if it was better or not myself.  I constantly hear it was
technologically superior, but I was too young when that war was being
waged to have any firsthand experience.

Sure.  But the point I was arguing was based on Recoll's technical
merits, not whether it is or isn't more popular or should or shouldn't
be.

That may all be true, but it's still inferior (IMHO) to Beagle in the
category of instantly indexing and being friendly to the disk (and the
user).
