You are most likely correct. Remember back what people were saying 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years ago on CCC. Many people were saying that the programming has progressed to a point were it would take much effort to even gain a few rating points on the programming side. This has been shown to be false in the past, and I see no reason why it would be true today. Todays program are better then programs of the recent past, and crush programs of 2 or more years ago on the same hardware. > >Uri
