CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW IN LAS VEGAS 2005

WATCH WORDS...CONVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES & HDTV

Gary Shapiro, president/CEO of the Consumer Electronics opens the 2005 show
in Las Vegas says, "While we thrive on change, the concept of change threatens
the status quo of other less agile industries."  He pointed out that the movie
and music industry had "fought to delay or handcuff every new digital technology
including television, the Internet and digital radio.  He said, "This CES is not 
only the largest in our history," but the largest "indoor show in our nation's history."
