As for your comment that I've quoted, letting the "black bars bother them" doesn't necessarily imply ignorance on their part. Once they've been given the "proof" of how much picture loss can result from P&S cropping, they've been "educated" to understand the difference. Does that mean they will want to contend with the "black bars" when they watch movies at home? Maybe or maybe not. Again, this gets back to my preference argument.

Something that really "chaps my hide" is when I read stories of how people have been "educated" about widescreen DVDs and their "educational information" itself was wrong.... at least get the facts straight...

"Can't we all just get along...."

Peace......
