HD-DVD vs Blu Ray . . .

I was reading an article by a guy named Michael Grebb. I don't know why he was named Michael Grebb - he didn't say. Anyway, the article was about a guy named Alan Parsons. Alan Parsons used to have a band called The Alan Parsons Project. I used to have a band too - except mine wasn't called The Alan Parsons Project. At any rate, Alan nowadays is promoting the new Blu Ray format for High Definition DVD's. Alan doesn't like fighting with the HD-DVD guys, but then again he mentions that the Girly-Man HD-DVD guys have less storage capacity - in fact, 40 percent less storage capacity than the Blu-Ray format. I thought they said size doesn't matter . . .

So what does Daryl think?

Well, Daryl likes 40 percent more storage. More is gooder (gooder is a techno-bloggo term meaning "way better than"). Hopefully the Blu-Ray will be the Death-Ray and smote the evil, wimpy HD-DVD. In the olden days, my Viking forefathers would have hacked, hewn, blugeoned, bit, and really hurt the HD-DVD guys. They might have even killed a few - sometimes Vikings did that. Back then they didn't have anger manangement guys like they do for me. Thank goodness they are able to suppress my latent Viking tendancies. You can probably get into trouble these days if you hack and hew HD-DVD guys . . .

So when the time comes and you need a new DVD player or recorder - go for the Blu-Ray.
Besides, HD-DVD is hard to say.
