[Let's] face it many people look at some of the
things I collect
(vintage video capture gear) and tell me I can get a USB dongle to
capture from my VCR for $50 with software included.
Heh. Someone tried to tell me that, I'd ask them where I could get a
USB-capable machine with a Windows - or whatever OS the software
they're talking about demands - license for under $50. (I've got
exactly one machine with USB hardware, and there ain't no way any
closed-source software - OS or USB dongle interface - is going anywhere
near it.)
Well, except I don't do video capture, but, mutatis mutandis....
