[NSRCA-discussion] Electronic KFactor Question

[Scott McHarg]

I've spoken to Derek about this and we believe that we do not have a disk
limit.  We will double-check.  I think we will offer both versions from now
on.  I really like the way the High Def version looks on the 27" monitor.
 As far as downloading it goes, so far, it's about 50/50 today HD vs.
normal res.  Either way, if we can't keep both editions, I can delete the
HD one after the current month.  We will offer both.  Thanks guys for your
time.

Scott
