That actually made me laugh out loud...

Man, I only have two friends that actually care about HDM (One has a PS#, the other a HD DVD player). My other friends either don't have HD sets due to pricing or apathy, or they HAVE an HD set but "don't see the difference" enough to justify the cost of stepping into HDM when play "good looking" upconverted DVDs...
I'm a film/tv editor so I try to school them but when they don't have either the funds or interest, what else can you do?
I don't care about choosing the format that's getting the spanking lately, I'm more upset that they're still not educating the public to HDM.
But then again we are talking about the general public...Even after DVD took over, it took years for people to understand what "Widescreen" and that the black bars on their TV wasn't their movies being "cut off"...
