讓過去由帶到碟
把磁帶的以前過渡為硬碟的將來
Moving Taped Past to Hard-Drive Future

STATE OF THE ART
這得從賈伯斯的一個電話講起。
那是零八年十月，我撰文對蘋果公司在其最新手提電腦中移除火線接口一事提出警告。「火線是我們用來連接磁帶攝影機與蘋果機的，」我這樣寫道，「我手上有上百卷保存良好的微數碼影像磁帶，記錄了兒女的成長，我上電視的經歷，全家的旅行等記憶點滴。十五年來，我一直打算找個時間把這些錄影帶編成一系列美好的數位光碟。可能就在孩子們結婚的時候。」
It started with a call from Steve Jobs.
In October 2008, I wrote about my alarm that Apple had removed the FireWire jack from its latest laptops. “FireWire is how you connect tape camcorders to the Mac,” I wrote. “I’ve got 100 MiniDV tapes carefully stored — of my children growing up, of my TV appearances, of our trips and memorable moments. For 15 years, I’ve intended, someday, to edit those tapes down into a series of cherished DVDs. Maybe when the kids get married.”
