Re: DVD vs VHS? VCR vs DVD Player?

[Diane Chen <DianeRChen@AOL.COM>]

One temporary solution to the DVD dilemma:  our new iMacs all have DVD. At
least 2 are available at each grade level while 3 grade levels have a DVD
iMac in each classroom. If DVD's start showing up that are appropriate for
school, the teacher can connect with a single cable to another TV or our
videoprojector for the entire class to view. Or they can put on the
headphones (which I still need to order and need a good source) and view the
DVD in relative privacy.

On a humorous note, my Televisions at home are so ancient that I cannot
connect a DVD player or the new Playstation2 so my own children are viewing
DVD movies on the iMac whenever possible.  The only problem is the intense
amount of use our iMac receives and trying to find time to use a $950 machine
for movie-viewing.
